DICE announces significant changes to Battlefield 6 after beta feedback

In anticipation of the October 10, 2025 release of Battlefield 6, DICE has undertaken a comprehensive review of player feedback following two beta tests. Players expressed concerns regarding class modes, weapon mechanics, and game movement, prompting a response from the developers about the changes they intend to implement. Among the changes, DICE is focusing on making gunplay more rewarding, adjusting recoil for guns, and refining their unique feels. They are also planning to enhance tap-firing and burst-firing capabilities to positively reward player precision. Movement mechanics are another focal point; DICE aims to adjust sliding and jumping to ensure they are used more strategically within gameplay. This includes imposing stricter penalties for consecutive jumps to diminish the speed of gameplay. Furthermore, firing while executing jumps or slides will become increasingly inaccurate, forcing players to rethink their strategies and approaches in the battlefield. DICE hopes these adjustments will raise overall game quality and player enjoyment. Addressing map designs, DICE has promised to restrict out-of-bounds gameplay to prevent players from exploiting map edges. The company has reassured players that larger maps will be available at launch, alongside smaller, more action-focused environments tested during the Open Beta. Additionally, two new maps, Mirak Valley and Operation Firestorm, will undergo testing in Labs, aiming to enhance larger vehicular battles. Lastly, while player feedback on Rush mode has been taken into account, DICE remains cautious about implementing too many significant changes, noting that previous larger play counts resulted in various issues. User experience regarding playlist options during the beta was also restricted intentionally, which DICE plans to address by offering more accessibility in future games. Ultimately, all adjustments are aimed at creating a smoother, more enjoyable gaming experience for Battlefield 6 players upon the game’s official release.
