Overview

Battlefield 6 describes its approach to matchmaking, addressing key player concerns about how teams are formed before gameplay begins. The title aims to excite fans as it gears up for its release after a prolonged wait following Battlefield 2042.

Matchmaking System

On social media, Producer David Sirland discussed the factors influencing matchmaking during the open beta of Battlefield 6. He clarified that Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) is secondary to considerations of ping and matchmaking speed, although skill remains a consideration in the larger picture.

Previously, there were worries within the community regarding SBMM, especially among players who draw parallels to its application in the Call of Duty series. Sirland assured players that the team’s design philosophy prioritizes connectivity and server proximity to enhance the gaming experience.

Upcoming Beta

With the initial testing phase finishing on August 10, players are now gearing up for further beta weekends. The next testing session will introduce new content along with previously available features, providing ongoing opportunities to earn in-game rewards.
