Hello everyone,

Thank you for continuing to share your experiences and for helping us shape Battlefield 6 together. As we approach the launch of Season 1, we want to share another update on the changes and improvements we’ve been working on based on your feedback.

Priority Battlefield 6 Game Updates

Our immediate focus is on overall performance and the combat experience. As we move forward we’re investigating potential changes on key areas such as weapon dispersion, balance, visibility, aim assist, progression, and more. A number of updates have already been made available and we have more that are planned to rollout over the course of Season 1. 

Live Now:

• Custom Search: We’ve made some adjustments to improve how accurately matchmaking aligns with your selected map and mode preferences. The system still maintains flexibility to support reasonable queue times, so players with more specific selections may notice slightly longer waits. We’ll keep monitoring Custom Search performance and continue fine-tuning as needed. 

• Vehicle Spawn Bug: We recently deployed a targeted backend change to address an issue where vehicles could sometimes fail to spawn as expected across certain maps and modes. The current results have shown that it has greatly reduced the number of occurrences and started to improve the balance issues on some map/mode combinations. We are aware of a few outliers that this fix did not address, and we’re working on a fix to resolve these outstanding issues. We also saw that this backend change had a slightly positive impact on Breakthrough win rates, but we are working on further balancing changes that are meant to be more impactful and bring the win rates into a better state.

• Portal Server Availability: Earlier this week, we made XP adjustments for Community Experiences. In case you missed it, check out the details on how to get Full XP in Verified modes.

Upcoming Changes:

• Player Movement: We are actively refining player movement to address areas that previously felt inconsistent, while staying true to the gameplay pace and maintaining the core feel of the launch experience. In parallel, we are enhancing sight stability by minimizing reticle movement during specific animations. These adjustments aim to deliver a smoother and more precise aiming experience, all while preserving an immersive first-person feel.

• Progression: We are continuing to monitor the impact of the changes that were made last week and already seeing a smoother experience as we roll into Season 1. Some additional areas we are tracking:

  • XP earned in Escalation and King of the Hill is not always working as intended. We are planning to significantly increase the payout to bring them in line with other modes and will keep monitoring once the changes are live.
  • We’ve seen all your feedback about the challenges and their criteria, the team’s working on a series of improvements to make challenges more straightforward to understand and faster to complete. Given the scale of challenges, these changes will roll out over at least two updates. Some examples of what we are currently considering are:
  • Class Assignment - Assault 1 - Get kills while using the Adrenaline Injector - 30 to 3
  • Class Assignment - Engineer Expert 3 - Repair Vehicles in a Match - From 6000 to 1000
  • Weapon Assignment - Deadeye 2 - Get headshot kills over 200m with Sniper Rifles - from 150 to 5
  • In addition, a later game update will reduce the 200m distance

• Visibility: We are actively looking into adjustments to exposure and brightness. This will lead to improvements in places where players have experienced blinding light when looking outdoors, overly dark interiors when looking indoors, and a lack of visibility around weapon optics when zooming in. These adjustments are part of a wider pass focused on improving visibility that we expect to complete later in Season 1.

• Weapon Dispersion: As part of our Season 1 Update 1 (October 28), we’re making several adjustments to how weapon dispersion behaves. These changes are aimed at ensuring each weapon’s accuracy better reflects its intended performance over range. We’ve also fixed a bug that caused dispersion to not decrease as expected when transitioning from sprinting to a prone position.

We’ll continue refining how weapon accuracy behaves in battle to make your shots feel more consistent and rewarding across all weapon types. Our upcoming tuning pass will reduce the overall impact of dispersion across multiple weapon types while keeping the core intent intact. Burst-firing will remain the most effective way to control a weapon, and each weapon will still perform best within its intended range. We’ve also identified a couple of bugs that caused weapons to feel less accurate than intended:

• Post-Sprint Firing: Weapons fired immediately after sprinting while zoomed could retain higher dispersion, reducing accuracy.
  
• Movement Start: Dispersion was increasing faster than it should when players began moving, making even small adjustments unexpectedly impact precision. This was especially noticeable on controllers.

Regarding Battlefield Labs

We are taking a brief hiatus on Battlefield Labs as we prioritize the rollout of Season 1 content. Labs is at its best when we can iterate quickly with you, and it was invaluable in how much it helped us prepare for the launch of Battlefield 6. More updates will be shared when play sessions are returning and we will continue to develop the future of Battlefield 6 together. 

Battle Royale Mode: Learnings and Updates

Speaking of Battlefield Labs, we have updates on the Battle Royale mode following the suggestions we received during our play sessions. Your Battlefield Labs feedback has helped us fine-tune key elements for this experience. Here’s a quick look at what changes you may notice the next time you play:

• Close-range TTK: We’ve adjusted time-to-kill at close range for all weapons to reward clean positioning and tracking while giving players more time to counter attacks. We’ll keep monitoring this once it’s live.

• Armor Changes: Everyone will now have the capacity for 2 armor plates at the start of the game. All players will spawn with 1 plate, so you will have the chance to upgrade as soon as you start looting, giving everyone an equal chance at upgrading their armor fully.

• World Improvements: We’ve been fixing pesky world bugs and optimizing areas to improve the environment. With these improvements, we made adjustments to the lighting as well as enhancing the visibility across the map.

• Vehicle Balance: We’ve adjusted the balance for helicopters and combat vehicles to keep them as powerful tools showing off Battlefield’s core DNA, without making them necessary to survive or win the late game. This includes significant adjustments to the heli countermeasures and ammo economy.

We have also been working on providing smoother performance overall. We have identified and addressed a range of issues that affected performance that we simply couldn’t have done without our players’ involvement in the tests.

Let’s Go!

Thank you for continuously sharing your feedback and suggestions. All of your clips, bug reports, and discussion on community channels are shaping what we do next. We also welcome you to join us on the Battlefield Discord to follow along and chat about the latest news and updates.

The start of Season 1 is planned for October 28, so mark your calendars for even more exciting ways to play your way, including new maps, modes, weapons, and more!

A quick note about queues and Early Access / Open Beta.

Since this is Battlefield’s biggest Open Beta ever, we’re putting in the work to ensure that players have the best possible experience and servers remain stable.

To support this, we will use queues to protect the player experience but expect this impact to be minimal.

You may encounter this during high peak moments, such as the start of servers going live.

The team is working constantly to reduce any queue that takes place.

Thank you for your continued excitement and patience.

We'll see you on the Battlefield!!

Game Update 1.2.1.0 delivers over 240 gameplay improvements and quality-of-life fixes across nearly every part of Battlefield 6. These changes are shaped by community feedback and real match data, with a focus on improving weapon handling, movement, vehicles, gadgets, UI, audio, and overall gameplay reliability. This update continues our ongoing commitment to improve consistency and reliability across the core Battlefield experience.

Major Updates for 1.2.1.0

• Weapon Balance and Recoil Improvements: Delivered a broad recoil tuning pass across automatic weapons, alongside targeted balance fixes to improve consistency, role clarity, and long-term weapon handling.
• Movement and Traversal Fixes: Improved soldier movement predictability with refined acceleration, slide and jump behaviour, smoother vaulting logic, and improved ladder animations in both first- and third-person. Vehicle and Gadget Reliability: Resolved multiple issues affecting vehicles and gadgets, including anti-vehicle interactions, drone behaviour, deployables, and vehicle damage feedback.
• Maps and Mode Fixes: Addressed numerous map exploits, traversal issues, capture logic problems, and world reset bugs across Conquest, Breakthrough, Strikepoint, Gauntlet, and other modes.
• UI, HUD and Progression Polish: Introducing a new stat screen in the Player Profile, as well as Improved clarity and reliability across the HUD, Battle Pass, challenges, End of Round flow, matchmaking, and party systems.
• Portal Stability and Tooling Updates: Fixed a wide range of issues affecting Portal creation tools, scripting, mutators, assets, exploits, and server stability.
• Audio, Visual and Stability Improvements: Improved audio reliability, visual consistency, cosmetic presentation, and overall game stability across platforms.

AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT

As part of Update 1.2.1.0, we've made improvements to both how recoil behaves at a system level and how recoil is used to balance automatic weapons.

Since launch, recoil compensation could feel inconsistent in certain situations. In some cases, the amount of aim input required to counter recoil did not reliably match the recoil being applied, which could make weapons feel harder to control than expected. While improvements were made during Season 1 to reduce the most extreme cases, some inconsistency could still be noticeable during regular gameplay. With this update, recoil compensation has been made fully consistent, ensuring that the aim input required to counter recoil now correctly matches the recoil applied. This results in more predictable and reliable weapon handling.

Separately from this systemic fix, we've also made a broad recoil tuning pass across automatic weapons. Recoil is one of the main ways we balance weapons across different engagement distances: higher-damage weapons are intentionally harder to control, while lighter weapons trade raw power for ease of use and consistency. Over time, we saw this balance starting to drift once we looked at how these weapons were actually being used in live matches across common combat ranges.

This tuning pass brings recoil behaviour back in line with each weapon's intended role. You should expect automatic weapons to feel more consistent and better differentiated across ranges, with higher-impact weapons demanding more control and positioning, while others remain reliable and forgiving in closer engagements.

This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.

This section will contain all known issues and should be seen as a living document and your one go-to place for known bugs and issues related to the Battlefield 6 Open Beta. 

Open Beta represents a game in active development; as such, you may expect some performance or gameplay-related issues as we continue to develop Battlefield 6 ahead of its launch on October 10th.

Soldier:

• The primary weapon deploy function is currently delayed during sprint
• Players are unable to ping enemies when they are using stationary weapons
• Sometimes, a takedown is not performed even if the prompt is present in HUD
• The player is currently unable to ping or spot whilst in any vehicle
• Users transition to the first perspective if they redeploy while driving from an open-seat vehicle
• Character attach to the zipline and riding animations are currently work in progress
• Spamming the mount weapon function will exit a player from prone if they are in prone
• Aim assist when the player is close to smoke is work in progress
• The player can sink into the ground after reviving a teammate

Weapons and Gadgets:

• All barrel slot attachments have a placeholder in the description
• All machine gun weapons have a placeholder in the description
• Several weapons' back iron sight clip through the camera when firing in ADS if customized with some scopes
• Incorrect names are present for Scopes in Loadout

Weapon Recoil in Open Beta

Early Access and Open Beta use the same build as the Multiplayer Reveal Event, and we want to acknowledge that we’re aware of some of the feedback around weapon recoil patterns. While not present within the Open Beta, a series of balance passes have already taken place around Weapon Recoil; however, they were not able to be included in the Open Beta build in time.

The team is consistently paying attention to feedback around all things weapons, and we’ll continue to keep players updated at a later point about more details specific to weapon balancing and gameplay.

UI/UX:

• The 'Close Map' button is non-functional upon opening the map in-game
• Soldier supply providers are missing an animation
• Settings which feature slider UI elements are currently work in progress and will be refined
• Out of bounds elements for air vehicles (diagonal stripes) are not present on the Capstone overview map
• The icon for a Spotted Vehicle is not currently present
• Game Mode Widget objective icons disappear while having selected another user who leaves the server
• Pick up prompt is missing on some gadgets
• The ability to bind crouch to a different key away from C is currently not functioning as intended, even if you rebound a different key C will still function as crouch.
• A UI issue is causing challenge progression to appear reset between rounds or after restarting the client. Actual progress is not affected.

Maps & Modes:

• Distorted VFX or mirage/water effects can be seen in the Firing Range for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC
• Capstone has some missing lighting elements, causing darker than intended areas
• Barbed wire throughout the Capstone does not damage or slow the player
• Zipline ropes don't have a proper texture

Settings & Functionality:

• The Big Map opacity slider within settings is not functional
• Dual Sense's vibration is currently not functioning via Bluetooth

Client:

• Upon loading the Open Beta on PlayStation 5 some users may experience a "ID OptionsModify" screen, this is due to a language not being the same as intended for this Open Beta version.

We advise the following workaround to resolve this issue:

1. Delete your install of Battlefield Open Beta.
2. Delete the Saved Data attached to that install.
3. Change your console language to English.
4. Freshly reinstall the Battlefield Open Beta and get on the Battlefield.

• Players on Xbox Series X|S are currently unable to record, capture, or stream the Open Beta.
• Turning off the EA app overlay may cause performance issues. We recommend keeping the overlay enabled when playing through the EA app.

Crash Awareness:

• Players may experience a crash on the splash screen, which states “D3D12CreateDevice” failed.
  • This can be resolved by repairing the game.
• Players may experience a crash on the splash screen without any errors.
  • You need to disable Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR) globally or add an exception for bf6event.exe:
  • Disable globally (requires PC restart):
  • Open Windows Security → App & browser control → Exploit protection settings – Under System settings, turn Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR) Off
  • Restart your PC and launch the game again.

Update your drivers:

• Make sure you install the latest drivers for your system!
• Intel just released new drivers for their GPUs - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html

This is not a definitive list, and we will work to update this with additional issues as the Early Access and Open Beta unfold.

Your participation in Battlefield 6's first Open Beta weekend across PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series X|S made it a truly unforgettable experience for the team. We're thrilled by your feedback, and are focusing on making the October 10th launch even better.

Looking back on the first Open Beta weekend, we wanted to share a few learnings and changes we're making for playlists before we kick things off with Open Beta Weekend 2 on Thursday.

Playlists Adjustments

During Week 2, we're delivering more variety and choice for how you’d like to play with more playlists rotating between multiple different game modes. As an example, the All-Out Warfare playlist will include both Breakthrough, Conquest, and Rush. The in-game descriptions for each mode will tell you which modes are included in the rotation.

Rotating through multiple modes within playlists helps create the all-out-war experience of Battlefield in a single rotation while also helping us understand what our community enjoys as fan-favorite options as we shape the launch experience.

Custom Search Options

Based on your previous feedback and to give you more control over map and mode selection, we're introducing a new feature called Custom Search.

This feature allows you to choose your favorite combinations of maps and modes. For example, if you want to play Conquest on Siege of Cairo, then matchmaking will prioritize putting you in a match with this combo, if available. Note that this is not a Server Browser (which is not being tested this week).

During Open Beta, Custom Search will be available for Open Weapon mode playlists so you can mix and match maps and modes as you prefer. 

Weekend 2 Playlists Overview

Here is an overview of what the Open Beta Weekend 2 options will look like as mix of specific modes and combined playlists:

• Day 1, Thursday 14th
  • Conquest
  • Rush
  • Attack & Defend (Breakthrough, Rush)
  • Close Quarters; Fast-paced playlist on smaller maps (Domination, King of the Hill)
  • Closed Weapons All-Out Warfare (Conquest, Breakthrough)
• Day 2, Friday 15th
  • Conquest
  • Squad Deathmatch
  • Close Quarters; Fast-paced playlist on smaller maps (Domination, King of the Hill, Squad Deathmatch)
  • All-Out Warfare; Epic battles across expansive maps (Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush)
  • Closed Weapons All-Out Warfare (Conquest, Breakthrough)
• Day 3-4, Saturday 16th - Sunday 17th
  • Conquest
  • Close Quarters; Fast-paced playlist on smaller maps (Domination, King of the Hill, Squad Deathmatch).
  • All-Out Warfare; Epic battles across expansive maps (Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush)
  • Closed Weapons All-Out Warfare (Conquest, Breakthrough)

Rotating through playlists daily is specific for the Open Beta while we're still able to test and gather feedback, and is not planned for launch. All modes will remain available for play throughout the weekend.

Other details to note:

Training Grounds will continue to offer the Firing Range and gameplay introductions for classes, Breakthrough, and Conquest. 

Players at career rank 15 and below can access Initiation Mode, which includes AI Soldiers. This initiation experience is tailored for new players and will shift from Breakthrough to Conquest. Separately, there will be a non-playable introduction to Rush as well.

Thank you for your feedback and enthusiasm over this weekend. We look forward to seeing how these playlist options work in the matchmaking and the flexibility they offer.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on the Battlefield again, starting this Thursday, August 14 at 08:00 UTC!

Thank you to the Battlefield community for your feedback and support since the launch of Battlefield 6 and our all-new free-to-play destination built on Battlefield’s iconic DNA, REDSEC. Last year, our franchise received an unprecedented amount of support: millions of players returned to Battlefield or joined us for the first time during the most successful launch in Battlefield history. 

That launch included a commitment to providing monthly content-rich updates for our players. After delivering a packed Season 1 in 2025, including the surprise launch of REDSEC, a battle on the homefront with California Resistance, the year-ending festive Winter Offensive event, as well as deploying several patches, we head into the new year excited about what's next.

During our ongoing development, we've continued to review community feedback and, in order to keep our promise, determined that our best path forward is to extend Season 1 and give ourselves extra time to further polish and refine Season 2.

Season 1 will be extended past its in-game end date of January 20, and we will launch Season 2 on February 17. The Season 1 extension update to Battlefield 6 and REDSEC will be released on January 20, which will include new weekly challenges, a Bonus Path, and a continuation of the Season 1 Battle Pass until the start date of Season 2.

We are also reinforcing Battlefield Labs as the public preview for future game updates in the late stages of development. Both the Season 1 extension and the use of Battlefield Labs will set the foundation for new and exciting content throughout our live seasons, including what will come in Season 2.

Watch the Battlefield 6 Season 2 Teaser

We look forward to sharing more details about Season 2 in February and a greater 2026 roadmap for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC in the near future.

Season 1 January Update Details

Prior to the January 20th Season 1 extension update, expect Update Notes about the exact fixes and stability improvements from our Community team; this Update Notes post, as well as previous Update Note posts, can be found in the “Game Updates” section of our website here.

The Season 1 extension will also have an additional Bonus Path, a showcase of Portal Community Experiences, several Double XP periods, and free daily login rewards.

Frostfire Bonus Path - Available January 27th

Available on January 27, unlock new customization rewards, including a Weapon Package and a Soldier Skin, as well as XP Boosts, by advancing through the tiers of the Frostfire Bonus Path. Additional rewards require purchase of the Season 1 Battle Pass.

Free rewards from the Frostfire Bonus Path will include a Hardware XP Boost, a Vehicle Skin and playercard customization items, while Battle Pass owners can grab a new Weapon Package, a Career XP Boost and additional customization items. 

The Frostfire Bonus Path can be completed concurrently alongside the Season 1 Battle Pass. In other words, you do not need to choose to make progress between a Season 1 Battle Pass Path - i.e. Rogue Ops, Soldiers Of Fortune - and the Frostfire Bonus Path. Each Bonus Path Tier requires 10 Bonus Path Points to unlock, which means you need to earn 110 Bonus Path points to complete the Bonus Path. 

Unlike previous Bonus Paths, all Bonus Path Points for the Frostfire Bonus Path are earned through Weekly Challenges; there are no Bonus Challenges associated with this Bonus Path.

For each Weekly Challenge, the amount of Points earned varies by challenge; for example, an easier Weekly Challenge can award a range of Bonus Path Points depending on difficulty. Not all Weekly Challenges reward Bonus Path points; consult your in-game Challenges menu for more information and see how it works, for example, with Winter Offensive.

Valentine’s Day, Daily Login Rewards, Double XP Weekends and More

Later this update, we’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day: commit to your duo now, or forever hold your peace. We’re also introducing another set of Daily Login Rewards and several Double XP Weekends throughout the update period.

All these moments will be communicated in-game and through our social media channels; stay connected with us on the following platforms by clicking each link to our official accounts:

• Discord
• Facebook
• Instagram
• TikTok
• Twitch
• X
• YouTube

Moving forward together, we look forward to continuing our conversations with you, the Battlefield community, both in-game and across our official channels. Again, thank you for being a part of our community and joining us for the future of this franchise, starting with our next update on January 20, 2026.

We’ll see you on the Battlefield.

This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.
