Battlefield

We're back with our anticheat metrics, this time covering the month of August.

Head over to our blog on Discord or our website to learn more.

Over the next few days, you might start seeing more familiar faces across consecutive matches.

We’re testing some backend matchmaking tweaks designed to keep more players together between rounds whenever conditions allow.

We expect this to be more noticeable in the official playlists where everyone shares the same map and mode rotation.

As part of this, the team is aware of a small error message displaying at the bottom right of the screen when joining a match. Gameplay and matchmaking remain unaffected while the team works on a fix.

Because this is an active test, we’ll be monitoring matchmaking health and lobby balance closely, and may dial things back or pause adjustments if needed.

Drop into a few rounds and let us know how your games feel.

We've heard your feedback about wanting more chances to use the Top Gun cosmetics you may have acquired earlier this season.

As part of our latest update, we have lifted the class restrictions for the Lt. Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw and the Lt. Robert "Bob" Floyd skins. Now, both of these skins will be available to utilize with any NATO class.

If you haven't already had a chance to grab these character skins, both have returned to the store and will be available until the end of Season 4.

See you in the skies, pilots.

Today's blog incorrectly stated that we are removing Below Radar for the SLM-93A and Igla launchers.

This was a miscommunication. While we tested this adjustment in Battlefield Labs, it only partly met our design goals. Based on test results and player feedback, we decided to not go live with this change at the launch of Season 5.

Both launchers will retain Below Radar functionality while we continue to look into potential design tweaks and balance around MANPADS, Below Radar, and air vehicles.

Thank you for all your feedback and we're excited to see you in Vegas!

Season 5 is almost here, bringing new places to fight, new ways to play, and plenty of updates across Battlefield.

With three new maps taking us to Vegas across the whole season (including two ready for action right at launch), new weapons joining the arsenal, Rapid Royale arriving in REDSEC, more updates across gameplay and Portal, and Server Browser coming later in the season, there’s a lot heading your way.

Beyond the new content, we also want to use this Community Update to give you some early context on some of the changes arriving alongside Season 5, ahead of our full reveal soon to follow. That includes updates to combat, how we're approaching matchmaking and REDSEC playlist rotations, new updates for Portal, and more.

Take an early look at some of what’s coming with the first phase of Season 5 here or on our website.

We're investigating reports of an error prompt appearing in the bottom right of the screen when loading into matches. Gameplay and matchmaking remain unaffected while the team looks into a fix.

We’ll share an update as soon as we know more!

We've noticed some discrepancies out there regarding the timeline for the Deep Six event. To clarify, the in-game timer is correct, and the Deep Six event will conclude on September 28.

Following the end of this event, we're kicking off a two-week celebration of the first year of Battlefield 6 which will close out Season 4. There won't be a dedicated limited-time mode and it'll focus on new challenges and rewards to finish the season strong.

Thanks for playing, soldier. 🫡 @role-name
