Producer @EA_DICE working on @Battlefield 6.
Up to no good.
Responsible for all things engagement/progression/menus/game flow ✨🎉
These views are my own!
I'm gonna talk about our server browser later today, but first, I wanna understand everyone's reasons for wanting a server browser so I can make sure I explain what we're doing effectively.
What is it about a server browser that's important to you lot?
Feels like your most important things are:
- persistent servers
- a sense of community and a way to play together
- being able to choose specific maps/modes
- being able to filter by ping/server fullness
- support for low pop regions
More to share on this in future. But.. (1/3)

Absolutely love seeing all the new folks come and play BF, but just a reminder to PTFO!
Kills alone won't win a round. Cap points, defend sectors, push forward, plant bombs, help your team - anythiiiiing! 🙏🙏
Battlefield 6 Open Beta - Weekend 1 - Servers Closing Down Soon
Heads up - game servers for Open Beta Weekend 1 will shut down 60 minutes from now, at 08:00 UTC. Once the shut down starts, you’ll be able to continue to play until your match ends.
Once the servers are shut down, you’ll be able to continue loading into the main menu, adjust your settings, and view your challenges until Open Beta Weekend 2 starts on Thursday, August 14 at 08:00 UTC.
Thank you for playing, see you then!
Seeing how many of you want to play our game makes me so, SO happy. Sorry for the big queue, I hope you get in soon and don't have to wait too long 🙏🙏
BF is back babyyyy!!
Stop asking me to drop the game before release date I'm just a small little developer I have no control and I can't even fit in this perfectly normal sized car
It's almost 5 years since I started working on Battlefield games. 2042 was a baptism of fire, but I loved the franchise & knew I would stay part of it because this team can make amazing things.
And now I get to feel so, so proud of what we've done. I can't wait for tomorrow 💓
Reroll challenges system adjustment
We have made adjustments to the reroll challenges system.
✅Now, when rerolling a challenge, this change will prevent Battlefield 6 players from receiving a challenge that can only be completed in REDSEC.
✅REDSEC players will continue to receive additional challenges that can be completed in REDSEC when rerolling a challenge.
Which challenge you gain after rerolling will still be random.
Thanks for your feedback on this topic!
Getting a bit bored of defending myself against people calling me "woke", or an "activist" purely coz I do something fun like colour my hair to match the game I'm working on or happen to be a WOMAN. Let's give it a rest lads.
Sigh. My dude, with all due respect, Ive been making battlefield games for over 5 years now. I can assure you I want nothing but what's best for the franchise, and the choice of whether a character model is male or female is actually nothing to do with me.
Also a lil reminder that there are 4 studios that are making this game! Criterion, DICE, Motive and Ripple Effect. (As well as a whole host of other EA teams) Give em all props when you're cheering us on 🙏🙏🙏
We've been working hard on the challenges, appreciate all your patience on this one! More changes to come in the future but this should hopefully already make a big difference.
I urge everyone to take up a hobby for the next two months and see how good you can get it at then instantly drop it on October 10th.
I'm going with running
Pls stop asking me for BF6 codes they don't trust me with them after I gave all the early access open beta ones to people who sent me pictures of their pets (genuinely this will not work but I will accept the pet pictures but I honestly have nothing this time)
ALT Today, we experienced an outage on the EA app that prevented some of our players who pre-ordered Battlefield 6 from accessing the game, and we know this can be frustrating so we wanted to offer an apology… with perks.
The fix has been rolled out. But we aren’t done.
Anyone on the EA app who was impacted will receive 12 Hardware and 12 Career 60-Minute Boosters, which should be arriving in impacted players’ in-game inbox this weekend.
In addition, we will also be granting impacted players full access to a seasonal Battle Pass. If impacted players purchased the Phantom Edition we will be granting them access to Season 2’s full Battle Pass.
We want to apologize again for this outage.
See you on the Battlefield.
The Battlefield Team
Bunch of new pals here over the last few days so ill reintroduce myself:
- Been working on Battlefield for 5 yrs
- I look after everything progression, main menu, customization etc
- If it's UI/UX, it's probably my team (unless it's HUD)
- I bloody love chatting to the community
I always know when something I've posted gets shared to reddit because that's when the "YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING" gang come out. I engage with the community not because I don't know the answers to what I'm asking, but often because people's feedback varies from person to person.
The #Battlefield6 Open Beta won't go live until tomorrow, but the servers are already at max capacity while trying to connect online to adjust game settings 👀
If u asked me a year ago would I be receiving hundreds of photos of peoples pets in exchange for MAYBE an early access code for the BF6 beta I would have laughed in ur face
There will come a day where I will decide to be a grown up and not match my hair with the season colours of each #Battlefield2042 season but today is not that day soz everyone
Remember the beta is a chance for us to test our systems at scale as well as make sure you guys have a super fun time!
Doing some things now and seeing what works and what doesn't allows us to have a smoother and more prepared launch 🙏
A quick note about queues and Early Access / Open Beta.
Since this is Battlefield’s biggest Open Beta ever, we’re putting in the work to ensure that players have the best possible experience and servers remain stable.
To support this, we will use queues to protect the player experience but expect this impact to be minimal.
You may encounter this during high peak moments, such as the start of servers going live. The team is working constantly to reduce any queue that takes place.
Thank you for your continued excitement and patience.
We'll see you on the Battlefield!!
Proper loved all the replies to me today pals. I joked about the Reddit gang but I know people are just passionate about BF and want to share their thoughts. Thanks for putting the effort in to communicate with meee! 🎉
This is Battlefield's biggest Open Beta ever.
Peak time is approaching and queues will be expected. We're working on entry times to the game, but appreciate your patience as you wait for your time to arrive.
We want everyone to experience a smooth and fair Open Beta, including those currently within the game too.
Thank you for your continued excitement for Battlefield 6's Open Beta!
Feature Spotlight: Custom Search
Based on your previous feedback and to give you more control over map and mode selection, we're introducing a new feature called Custom Search.
This feature allows you to choose your favorite combinations of maps and modes. For example, if you want to play Conquest on Siege of Cairo, then matchmaking will prioritize putting you in a match with this combo, if available. Note that this is not a Server Browser (which is not being tested this week).

I think our serber browser solution answers all these wants. Yes, it's via portal and shows community experiences, but these can award full XP, will be front and center in our main menu, not hidden - and will allow you to filter and search for specific things you want. (2/3)
Thanks to our #Battlefield community for shattering expectations and setting a new franchise record for most players in Battlefield beta history.
See you on the battlefield on October 10th. 🫡

If every time a dev engages with a discussion and they're met with "wow it's concerning you don't know the answers to this already" instead of it just being a community conversation in good faith, people might just stop interacting.

Wassup game dev. I thought it might be cool to do a lil' thread around how being a producer at EA is pretty different to being a producer anywhere else, and how I feel like it's transformed my career. Settle in, friends, this is a little long.

Again, more to share on this in the future - but seeing all your replies I think what we have caters to the majority of use cases. We can talk more about if/why it feels like it's not enough at a later date! (3/3)
Retweeting myself like a chump, but we're collecting masses and masses of data from this OB and will react accordingly 🙏 fanks for sticking with uuuus!
Ps I'm still on holiday
Remember the beta is a chance for us to test our systems at scale as well as make sure you guys have a super fun time!
Doing some things now and seeing what works and what doesn't allows us to have a smoother and more prepared launch 🙏
A level results day today in the UK. I got a D, an E and a U back in 2007. Basically failed them all. Had no idea what I wanted to do with my life coz I was too busy partying. Anyway, discovered I could actually study videogames instead of just playing them (1/2)
Battlefield 6 Progression Changes Now Live.
Following our latest Community Update indicating our intent to improve progression, the following changes will gradually roll out across all platforms over the next couple of hours.
▫️Match Completion XP per min increased by 10%
▫️XP from Daily Challenges increased by 40%
▫️The XP needed to unlock the first 20 Attachment Ranks has been reduced.
🔸Please Note: For weapons that are already being progressed, the UI might display something inaccurate at first; this will resolve once a match has been played with that weapon.
▫️Assignments requiring Career Ranks 20, 23, and 26 to begin will now require Career Ranks 10, 15, and 20, respectively.
🔸As stated within the Community Update, we are aware of the frustrations regarding the challenges themselves. We are actively working on reviewing them, but it will take more time to develop, test, and implement these changes.
Thank you for your continued support and patience as we continue to work through player feedback and data.
An FYI that I'm having a lil well needed holiday for the next 10 days. So soz if I don't respond to much on here! It's time to sit on a beach and take in the whirlwind that was launch week 😍 see ya laterrrr
I'm on my way home after a lovely lil break with family. Reenergised with a lot of work to do over the next 2 months and beyond and I finaaalllyy get to play open beta tomorrow !!
For 6 seasons now I've matched my hair with our #Battlefield2042 seasons. It's one of my favourite things to do and this one feels even more special given how many of y'all are playing 2042 just now. Thanks for sticking with our game and my hair 😎
