Key art for the Battlefield 6 Phantom Edition from the PlayStation store showing a soldier looking at the camera as jets fly behind him and a large explosion occurs - all with a heavy and stark red color

Battlefield Battlefield 6 review: "More refined than innovative, this FPS is on target with multiplayer even if its campaign is just a big shrug"

Battlefield Battlefield 6 really wants Assault players to stop lone-wolfing, so they've taken the Spawn Beacon from snipers to place "greater emphasis on team play"

Battlefield Battlefield 6 has started phasing out XP farms with latest update designed to "support healthier matchmaking" and make Portal "more enjoyable"

Battlefield Battlefield 6 devs are waging war on XP farms because they've "made it harder" to find "experiences Portal was created for," but they know some feel "farming servers are necessary"

Battlefield Battlefield 6 players asked for changes and the devs brought a sledgehammer: Conquest changes rolled back, and progression is much easier to ward off XP farms

Battlefield Battlefield 6 makes changes to movement in Labs, and players can't decide if things have been "overnerfed" or if the new risk/reward tweaks make the FPS more grounded

Battlefield As Battlefield 6 cracks down on Portal bot farms with XP caps, rules for in-game activity and more, dev says "a curated list of community servers" will have progression enabled as a test

Battlefield EA is apparently playing whack-a-mole as Battlefield 6 fans keep using the FPS game's new Portal mode to set up XP farms to bypass the sluggish progression grind

Battlefield Battlefield 6 isn't filling servers with bots after all: during the open beta, "AI soldiers" will only appear in training grounds playlists

Battlefield Battlefield 6 goes back to 64 players per match because 2042's 128-person matches "just didn't catch on," design director admits: "Look, we try stuff. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't"

Battlefield Battlefield 6 lead assures fans that upcoming movement and sliding changes "are far from drastic" as the FPS aims to be less Call of Duty and more of a "traditional Battlefield experience"

Battlefield Battlefield 6 beta changes are a mixed bag: Movement and shotgun nerfs are welcome, but Rush is staying small and open weapons remain the default

Battlefield After 92 million hours of open beta testing, Battlefield 6 dev says "requests for naval warfare have not gone unnoticed" and it has "over 200 changes" coming in a day one patch

Battlefield Battlefield 6 devs abandoned the chaos of Battlefield 4's destruction mechanic because they thought "the game wouldn't be fun" if everything in it was dust: "We want it to serve a gameplay purpose"

Battlefield Battlefield 6 lead downplays upcoming movement changes following community blowback, says the team is just fixing "rough case scenarios"
