Purchasing an expansion on one platform will also unlock the DLC on other devices linked to the same account. At launch, expansions are only available on iOS, Android, Windows and MacOS (and can be delayed a few days depending on the storefront), with the [[Bloons TD 6 NETFLIX|Netflix]] and [[Bloons TD 6+|Arcade]] versions following some weeks after. | Legends expansions share a common art style and worlds composed of hexagonal tiles. However, outside of the regular [[Bloons TD (series)#Gameplay|''Bloons TD'' elements]] while battling Bloons, Legends feature diverse game styles, which can range from the ''rogue-lite'' gameplay and lineal movement of ''Rogue Legends'' to the long-form story and open world setting featured in ''Frontier Legends''. | ||

As of August 2026, Nintendo Switch and Xbox versions have access to both legends with PlayStation following in the next few months. | |||

'''''Frontier Legends''''' | '''''Frontier Legends''''', introduced in {{BTD6 version|52.0}}, features a western-themed linear story where the player takes control of the new [[Sheriff (BTD6)|Sheriff]] of [[Sandytown]] to protect the town from the Wild Bloons and [[Diamondback]]. The Sheriff can explore diverse areas in a semi-open world environment, recruit Towers of Heroes for their posse and be a tower itself while fencing off Bloons. This game also features six new Bloon types and a fishing mini-game. | ||
