DICE has discreetly removed the controversial Wicked Grin skin from Battlefield 6, following player backlash regarding its design. Even though neither DICE nor EA has provided official comments on the unexpected removal, this action aligns with many players’ expectations who wished for a more grounded aesthetic in the game associated with its brand.

The criticism surrounding the Wicked Grin skin emerged after its bright blue design led fans to voice their displeasure, which ultimately resulted in the skin’s removal during a major update this week. This response reflects DICE’s commitment to adhering to the community’s desire for realism in gameplay aesthetics.

Another skin, the System Override, previously criticized for its vibrant neon features, was also updated to better fit the game’s overall style.

Fans looking for new cosmetic items can take advantage of a new Twitch Drops promotion, offering players a chance to earn a free Battlefield 6 skin until November 4.
