Battlefield 6 - Community Update - Holiday Wrap-Up

As we head into the holiday season and say goodbye to 2025, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on everything we have accomplished together and share a little about what is coming next for Battlefield 6 in the new year.

It has been an incredible year for the team. We introduced Battlefield Labs, launched Battlefield 6, brought Battle Royale to the franchise through REDSEC, and kicked off Season 1. This is only the beginning, and we remain committed to continuing to build Battlefield 6 with the community in the year ahead.

Thank You

Whether you’re reading this between matches, on the way to see family, or taking a well-deserved break from the battlefield, thank you for being here. Your support throughout launch, your energy during Season 1, and all of your Only in Battlefield moments have made this year unforgettable.

We have seen players of every kind jump into the game. Battlefield veterans grinding Multiplayer and PTFO. REDSEC players chasing the perfect drop. Portal creators building experiences we never imagined. You have each left your mark on the game in your own way.

Your reports and thoughtful discussions have helped us iterate quickly and focus on the things that matter most. We will continue to build on this collaboration as we move into the new year.

Team Highlights

We also asked a few folks on the team for their favorite Battlefield 6 memories this year:

• One of my favorite moments was an animation bug with the sledgehammer that accidentally made the MP5 deploy animation look like a hidden easter egg. Watching the community clip it and react to it as if it were intentional was hilarious. https://x.com/DRUNKKZ3/status/1989256562268099060

• In one Breakthrough match on Empire State, an attacker knifed me on the basketball court, spotted my developer tag, and immediately started yelling in All Chat for everyone to hunt me down. That turned into a match-long manhunt, full of melee duels and sledgehammer bonks, with both sides laughing and spamming love in chat. We still defended Manhattan, but my belly hurt from laughing so much. - Oli Zielinski aka spacebarisdefect, Technical Designer

• I was really touched by a longtime Battlefield fan facing serious health issues who was worried they might not make it to see the BF6 release. Motive organized a visit so that they could play the game early, meet the team, tour the studio, and leave with a BF swag pack. Seeing everyone go the extra mile for a single community member was incredibly special. - Alexandra Lucas, Game Writer II

• My favorite moment was being at the multiplayer reveal event and hearing the crowd erupt when we announced Portal. I was blown away by the crowd’s reaction. After working on Portal for almost 5 years, from BF2042 to BF6, it was a little stressful but incredibly rewarding to see that reaction and feel the team’s hard work pay off. - Ricardo Rojas Avellaneda, Quality Designer I
