Battlefield Studios is seemingly trying something different with Battlefield 6 's next patch, which everyone assumed would be a standard, mid-season update not intended to change the game significantly. However, it appears that it may bring more to the game than we realised, enough that the developer sees it as an excuse to bring back the pre-launch Battlefield Labs testing initiative.

One of the buildings on the new Eastwood map has a pizza on the roof of its garage--this is pretty clearly a reference to the show's 2010 Season 3, Episode 2 episode, "Caballo sin Nombre." In this episode, Walter (Bryan Cranston) tosses an entire pizza onto the roof in a fit of rage. Now, you can see that pizza in Battlefield 6, or something like it.

Battlefield 6 launched on October 10 and didn't need much time to become 2025's best-selling game overall in the US based on dollar sales. Circana released its latest monthly report today, confirming that Battlefield 6 was October 2025's No. 1 best-selling game and, after just three weeks on sale, became the No. 1 best-selling game of 2025 for physical and digital sales.

On November 18, Battlefield 6's latest major season one update landed on all platforms. It added a new game mode, Sabotage, which is too small and not very good. But more importantly, it added a whole new map. And unlike the last map added earlier this month, the dreadful Blackwell Fields, this big new warzone set in a rich California suburb is amazing, providing the perfect blend of open warfare and close-quarters chaos that makes good Battlefield maps so damn enjoyable.

It appears Battlefield 6 has received a stealthy backend update that tweaks the way your player stats are tracked. Now, EA's military shooter will seemingly no longer count the bots you kill in a match, but if you get blasted by a bot, that death will still show up in your stats sheet for now. According to a November 18 X post by the community news source Battlefield Bulletin, the update was deployed to make the game's stats accurate and fair.

Military shooters are a monopoly. The Call of Duty behemoth has muscled into the genre and put up tall walls around it, and even with the roller coaster quality of COD releases, people pay up every year and walk through the door. But one can hardly blame Activision for capitalising on its competitors' blunders. Electronic Arts never quite came close to toppling Call of Duty from its perch with its Battlefield franchise, but it did manage to erode the series' goodwill with Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V.

EA has announced a $12 Lead The Way DLC pack to honor Veterans Day in Battlefield 6 and Redsec, designed in collaboration with the National Ranger Association. However, eagle-eyed players have noted fine print in the bundle image that specifies: "no portion of the Lead The Way pack sales is donated." The DLC pack is named for the "Rangers Lead The Way" slogan and rallying cry, and EA says the pack was created in collaboration with the National Ranger Association to "ensure authenticity."

I think there are two main reasons my memory-and judging by the comments on Reddit, that of many others as well-seems so distorted when it comes to BF1's maps. Number one: Combat and transport in Battlefield 1 were much slower and more limited due to its WW1 setting. Tanks back then moved slowly, guns were inaccurate at far distances, and aerial vehicles were limited in what they could do. Getting anywhere in that game took time, and fights rarely happened across long distances.

Since Battlefield 6's beta, fans have complained that EA's online FPS has smaller maps than those found in previous entries. And when the game finally launched last month, these complaints only grew as it became clear that BF6 still lacked truly giant battlegrounds. Now, a fan has crunched the numbers and done the hard work to accurately compare the maps here to past maps from the main series and confirmed that, yeah, Battlefield 6′s collection of maps is the smallest.

Today is a big day for Battlefield 6, EA's recently released online military shooter. This is the day that BF6's first massive update goes live across all platforms, bringing a ton of changes and fixes to the game. It's also when season one of Battlefield 6 goes live, turning the shooter into a true live-service game. And on top of all that, Tuesday is when EA launches Battlefield 6's free-to-play battle royale mode, Redsec.

Recreations of classic maps and modes from other games are nothing new in shooters. Lately, however, publishers have started getting prickly over users remaking maps from their game in someone else's, and it seems this may be especially true when those games are as competitive with each other as Battlefield and Call of Duty. Battlefield 6 players remaking CoD maps via the game's new portal mode are finding this out the hard way, with their recreations of modes and maps from Activision's popular shooter getting taken down over intellectual property violations.

Gadgets play a major role in whatever class you decide to use in Battlefield 6. They're essentially the pieces of equipment that you spawn into every life with, and if you use them correctly, you can wreak havoc on the enemy team. Every class in Battlefield 6 offers several exclusive Gadgets for you to choose from, and while you can always stick with the default options, there are some better choices that are waiting to be unlocked.

Well, the team plans to reduce the number of bots filling the lobbies with a new update planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Battlefield Studios--a collection of EA teams working on the Battlefield franchise that includes Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect-- took to X on October 21 to share the news. In the brief post, the developers explained that "several backend updates" are coming to facilitate more players and fewer bots in the servers.

First off, the term "suppress" might throw you off when trying to complete this challenge. It's a term that isn't explained anywhere in Battlefield 6, and only franchise veterans will likely know what it means. If you've never heard of "suppression" before, it's a term that refers to bullets being fired right near you. When this happens, you won't take any damage, but being suppressed completely stops your health regeneration in Battlefield 6. You won't continue to regen HP until you've stopped being suppressed.

Battlefield 6 is off to a franchise-best start with over 7 million copies sold so far. But that doesn't mean there isn't some room for improvement. Some BF6 players have been very vocal about their displeasure with the in-game sun and the overly bright lighting when players come outside of buildings. But a fix may be on the way.

The developer is addressing these concerns in a number of ways. First, the XP earned by completing a match is going up by 10%, and the daily bonus XP is getting a 40% boost. For weapon XP, BF Studios is reducing the XP needed to unlock any weapon's first 20 attachments. The developer said you can expect that process to be about twice as fast.
