EA announced that Battlefield 6 will be free from Nov. 25 to Dec. 1. The free trial will feature five modes and three maps, with multiplayer available as well. In addition to the announcement, EA also published some minor hotfix updates to Battlefield 6, serving as supplementary changes for the latest 1.1.2.0 update, which added the new Southern California-themed map: Eastwood.
Here is what EA changed in the latest hotfix update, according to the official social media platforms:
- Following your feedback to our communication last week, Escalation now has had its time increased for capturing objectives by roughly 20%, extending the length of each phase for a smoother, more tactical flow. This change gives your squad more time to react, reposition, and coordinate vehicle spawns while maintaining the mode’s fast-paced intensity.
- We’ve also deployed backend fixes for challenge rewards not unlocking correctly. These updates address issues where completed challenges could fail to grant rewards or appear multiple times. Participating in a match should now reward you with any outstanding rewards from challenges.
- Additionally, we have also rolled out a small change to how Player Kill/Death statistics are shown within your Player Profile. Going forward Portal Kill/Death Statistics will no longer be listed within the Kill/Death amount on your profile and Kill will only showcase Human Kills. Portal statistics will be shown in a different capacity in a future time.
Battlefield patch 1.1.2.0 also reverted the aim assist feature to fully reset to its Open Beta tuning, restoring consistency in infantry targeting behavior across all input types. The update launched the new game mode: Sabotage, which focuses on demolition and counterplay.
The game achieved the most concurrent players in Battlefield history, with the Steam version of the game having surpassed 700,000 concurrent players on the platform. The Battle Royale iteration of Battlefield 6 launched on Oct. 28. It has “Mixed” overall Steam reviews.
