Battlefield 6 Season 1 is just a few days away, but Battlefield Studios is already looking to make changes ahead of time while laying out a path for future updates. Towards that end, the studio shared the improvements for the battle royale mode before it even launched. Now, the rest of the upcoming improvement plans have been released.
According to Battlefield Studios, its current focus is on improving the game’s overall performance and enhancing the combat experience. The following updates are now active:

- Custom Search: We’ve made some adjustments to improve how accurately matchmaking aligns with your selected map and mode preferences. The system still maintains flexibility to support reasonable queue times, so players with more specific selections may notice slightly longer waits. We’ll keep monitoring Custom Search performance and continue fine-tuning as needed.
- Vehicle Spawn Bug: We recently deployed a targeted backend change to address an issue where vehicles could sometimes fail to spawn as expected across certain maps and modes. The current results have shown that it has greatly reduced the number of occurrences and started to improve the balance issues on some map/mode combinations. We are aware of a few outliers that this fix did not address, and we’re working on a fix to resolve these outstanding issues. We also saw that this backend change had a slightly positive impact on Breakthrough win rates, but we are working on further balancing changes that are meant to be more impactful and bring the win rates into a better state.
- Portal Server Availability: Earlier this week, we made XP adjustments for Community Experiences. In case you missed it, check out the details

The devs went on to share a number of updates and adjustments that are currently being considered:
