Key points
- Battlefield 6’s great optimization came from the dev team’s efforts to optimize the game for Xbox Series S.
- Technical director Christian Buhl recalled that the Xbox Series S had less memory than the team’s mid-spec PC.
- Battlefield 6 is coming out on Oct. 10, 2025.
Battlefield 6’s technical director, Christian Buhl, said in an interview with Kotaku that the game’s overall optimization has improved thanks to the team optimizing the game for the Xbox Series S, but it wasn’t easy.
Buhl said that the biggest challenge to the team was the Xbox Series S’s limited console memory. He recalled that the Series S has less memory than their mid-spec PC, which gave them a lot of problems because they noticed that their maps were crashing on the console.
Because of this, they had to optimize the game so that it could run on the console. This turned out to be a great move from the developers, as Battlefield 6 turned out to be one of the best-optimized games in recent years.
Players who are below the minimum PC requirements were reported to have been able to play the game without any problems. Additionally, when asked about ray tracing, Buhl said that they won’t add any during the game’s release, as the team wanted to focus on the game’s performance instead of graphics.
Battlefield 6 is turning out to be one of the more exciting releases of this year. It’s going to be out on Oct. 10, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players can preorder now on their preferred consoles.
