What ‘Battlefield 6’ Is Changing After Its Questionable Second Open Beta
Developers are implementing weapon recoil adjustments, map exploit fixes, and movement tuning to create a more tactical and balanced experience based on player feedback from the open beta.
- Following the Open Beta, EA announced via Battlefield Studios on August 21, DICE will continue testing adjustments in Battlefield Labs before the October 10, 2025 launch.
- The Open Beta's scale and response showed over half a million concurrent Steam players and roughly 420 million matches, prompting DICE to address player feedback on map size, player counts, and mobility.
- DICE detailed weapon and map adjustments, including reduced slide-to-jump momentum, recoil and tap-fire adjustments, M87A1 shotgun changes, and testing Mirak Valley with Operation Firestorm in Battlefield Labs.
- DICE said it will lower Rush's default player count to 12v12 and update matchmaking and playlists with flexible player counts like 8v8 for small-scale modes and Portal custom Rush matches.
- Customization updates and unreleased gadgets will be tested in Battlefield Labs, and DICE said balancing will continue with community input toward the October 10, 2025 release.
