While Battlefield 6 continues to lose momentum, Arc Raiders has suddenly become the new home for shooter fans. On Reddit and Steam, players admit that Embark Studios’ latest title gives them what Battlefield no longer does — freshness, atmosphere, and a non-toxic community.

Reddit users conducted a large-scale comparison of maps from various Battlefield games — from Battlefield 3 to 2042 — and concluded that Battlefield 6 features noticeably smaller battlefields than ever before. Enthusiasts ClaraTheRed and PENGUINonPC manually measured each map, verifying the actual in-game dimensions.

DICE has introduced a new mode in Battlefield 6 called Casual Breakthrough, now available in the main menu under the Multiplayer tab. It’s designed for players who want to jump into the game without the stress of full PvP, while still progressing and completing challenges.

My first impressions of Battlefield 6’s multiplayer were extremely positive, as it’s been a long time since we’ve had a solid military-themed shooter where every element of game design is polished to perfection. However, the more time I spent with the gameplay, the clearer the problems and unfortunate moments became — issues that not only overshadowed all the good sides but also managed to significantly spoil my overall impression of the project. In this review, I’ll discuss what’s wrong with Battlefield 6 and why the developers absolutely need to rework key elements to maintain a stable online player base.

The launch of Season 1 in Battlefield 6 introduced the new battle royale mode Battlefield REDSEC, but the community’s response has been divided. On Steam, the project has already accumulated over 1,400 reviews, with only 43% of them positive — resulting in a “Mixed” rating.

The launch of Season 1 in Battlefield 6 turned out to be less successful than expected. Alongside the update, the new map Blackwell Fields was added to the game — but the community’s reaction has been overwhelmingly negative. On Reddit, a post describing the map as “the worst in Battlefield history” has gathered over three thousand upvotes.

DICE has officially announced that Battlefield 6 Season 1 will begin on October 28, coinciding with the release of the major Update 1.1.1.0. The patch will go live at 9:00 AM UTC, while the new seasonal content — including the Battle Pass, seasonal challenges, and new features — will unlock at 3:00 PM UTC.

It looks like Electronic Arts is preparing to launch the long-awaited Battle Royale mode for Battlefield 6. Dataminers have discovered strings of code within the game files pointing to a release date of October 28, 2025.

A player using the Portal mode in Battlefield 6 recreated the famous Shipment map from the Call of Duty series. However, Electronic Arts quickly took the project down — the map violated community guidelines.

Players discovered in Battlefield 6 a strategy that effectively disables air vehicles. Due to a bug, pilots do not receive a missile warning and crash before they can react.

The Battlefield 6 community has erupted in debate over the new Wicked Grin skin, set to debut with Season 1 on October 28. The bright blue camo — complete with a painted-on grin — has many players claiming it breaks the game’s promised “grounded” tone.

Players of Battlefield 6 have found a new reason to joke — the recently unlocked smoke mortar has turned out to be almost completely useless. Instead of providing real cover on the battlefield, it produces a tiny puff of smoke barely large enough to hide a bush.

Digital Foundry has released another in-depth technical breakdown of Battlefield 6, this time focusing on the PC version and identifying the most effective graphics settings.

Following the successful launch of Battlefield 6, DICE has released a detailed community update outlining major upcoming changes to progression and community servers. The developers admitted that certain gameplay and leveling systems need refinement — and confirmed that the first wave of fixes will arrive next week.

Dataminers have discovered several new game mode files in Battlefield 6, suggesting that more content may be on the way. References include:

Electronic Arts hasn’t shared official sales figures for Battlefield 6 yet, but according to Alinea Analytics, the game has already sold over 6.5 million copies in its first few days on the market.

In Battlefield 6, players have discovered a new way to break the game’s physics — by using a ladder glitch that lets them literally soar dozens of meters into the air. Despite recent mobility nerfs, creative players have already found a way around them.

The single-player campaign of Battlefield 6 features several callbacks to earlier games in the series — especially to Battlefield 3. One of its story missions is directly tied to the events of Night Shift, where the origins of a new antagonist organization, Pax Armata, were first hinted at.

Popular blogger ThatFriendlyGuy set himself an unusual challenge in Battlefield 6 — to play as a medic without killing anyone. In just a few days, he reached level 20 and revived more than 700 soldiers.

Battlefield 6 has finally been released and, as expected, has caused a stir in the gaming community. High online player counts on Steam, good press reviews, mass depression in Activision studios (against the backdrop of poor Black Ops 7 beta numbers), and, of course, universal adoration. Yes, the multiplayer part of the game really turned out to be very cool and engaging. But what happened to the single-player campaign? Why did EA say nothing about it throughout the entire marketing campaign? Why do gamers try not to mention the game's storyline in their reviews? Or did Battlefield Studios actually manage to destroy Call of Duty on the field of cinematic shooters? The answers to all these questions are in our review.
