*[[Team]]s and [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|Contested Territory]] are inaccessible.
*Per the previous change, the tower selection menu is replaced by an overlay in the right side of the map, which has several panels to select [[tower]]s, [[Activated Ability|abilities]], [[power]]s, [[Insta Monkey|Insta Monkeys]], [[emote]]s, [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s Shop, [[Corvus (BTD6)|Corvus]]' spells, and Co-op options. Players cannot select any tower or map feature located under the panel unless it is hidden (toggled by pressing the right stick by default).
*[[Team]]s, [[Contested Territory (BTD6)|Contested Territory]], [[Boss Rush]] and [[Map Editor]] are inaccessible.
*[[Challenge Editor]] is restricted to creations made in the console version, Xbox and PlayStation share the same content, while Nintendo Switch has its own listing. Due Map Editor not being available, the players can only access custom Challenges and Odysseys.


===Controls (Xbox and PlayStation)===
== Controls ==
*The player's free cursor (left stick by default) can move to anywhere on the map. The player can use the scroll cursor (right stick by default) to navigate the side panel to select [[tower]]s, [[Activated Ability|abilities]], [[power]]s, [[emote]]s, [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]]'s Shop, and Co-op options without moving the free cursor. The movement of the free cursor is tied to the game's frame rate.<ref name="A Comprehensive Review"/>
All console versions share the same overall control mechanics which include:
 
* Outside of a game, or in the pause menu, the game does not show a cursor and the game will instead highlight an item in the menu. Player can use the confirm button to select the current item or press the cancel selection button to return to the previous menu. Certain items may be tied to a specific button for quick access.
* During a game, the player's free cursor (left stick by default) can move to anywhere on the map. The movement of the free cursor is tied to the game's frame rate, meaning it will lag if the game itself is lagging.<ref name="A Comprehensive Review" />
* Selecting a tower makes the free cursor disappear and the game displays a ring of options around it instead of opening a side panel. To purchase an [[upgrade]], the player has to point at the upgrade (by default with the left stick, left chooses path 1, up for path 2, right for path 3 and down for other options) and press the confirm button. To return to the free cursor, the player needs to press cancel selection.
 
===Xbox and PlayStation===
{{Research|Update control changes in Xbox after the update}}
*The player can use the scroll cursor (right stick by default) to navigate the side panel without moving the free cursor.
*There are ten hotkeys for ability buttons. The first two are mapped to two of the face buttons, while the remaining 8 are mapped to a combination of one of the triggers and one of the face buttons. The player cannot activate them with the free cursor.

* Activated abilities now appear in their own panel in the overlay instead of being at the bottom of the screen.

Bloons TD 6 for home consoles (also called Bloons TD 6 Console to distinguish it from other versions[1]) is a port of the PC version of Bloons TD 6. It first released on Xbox One in 2023, then PlayStation 4 in 2024, and on Nintendo Switch in 2026. Through backwards compatibility, the Xbox One version is also playable on Xbox Series X and Series S, the PS4 version is playable on PlayStation 5, and the Nintendo Switch version is playable on Nintendo Switch 2. This version features local Co-op and changes to the interface and controls to make the game playable on a gamepad.

The PS4 release is based on version 32.0, but it has some additional maps and cosmetic items backported from later updates. The Nintendo Switch and Xbox One release are based on version 53.2 and version 54.3, respectively and have access to almost all features of the equivalent PC/Mobile version of the game, including paid content such as Legends and the collaboration skins from the Masters of the Universe crossover, available at the Shop.
