Battlefield 6 Is Going Strong
The second weekend of Battlefield 6 open beta is underway, drawing in massive numbers of players while the development team works to iron out a few early issues.
Battlefield Studios confirmed that some players have faced “ongoing matchmaking issues” in certain playlists. The team said, “We’re actively investigating this and working towards a solve as soon as possible. Hang tight while we dig into this!”
Those using the EA App can try pressing the “Repair” button as a temporary fix while a broader solution is in progress. Another issue affects PC players, as DLSS/DLAA features are currently unavailable. The developers have pinpointed the problem and are working on a resolution.
Technical snags have not dampened enthusiasm on Steam, where the open beta reached a peak of more than 300,000 concurrent players on August 14. The test period will continue until August 17, giving fans more time to explore the latest additions.
For its second weekend, the beta introduces Empire State, a new map that brings fresh scenery and tactical possibilities. A “Custom Search” option has also been added, allowing players to refine their matchmaking preferences for a more tailored experience.
With such high engagement numbers, the beta is offering the developers valuable feedback ahead of launch. The full release of Battlefield 6 is on October 10, arriving on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. If the open beta’s reception is any indication, the game is on track for a strong debut, provided the remaining technical hurdles are cleared in time.
