Season 2 of Battlefield 6 is winding down with one final update launching on May 5, which brings a few quality-of-life improvements ahead of the following week's launch of Season 3. Battlefield Studios continues to update Battlefield 6 as the community has expressed mixed feelings about the game's state, and the player count has plateaued after a post-launch decline.
Battlefield 6 launched late last year and quickly became a massive success with critics and fans. Many claimed that Battlefield 6 was a return to form for the series after a couple of lackluster entries, bringing the franchise back to basics and building off of its stellar large-scale FPS gameplay. But not everything has been good with Battlefield since then. Despite Battlefield 6 being 2025's biggest game, selling 20 million units and outpacing even Call of Duty, Battlefield Studios was still hit with layoffs in 2026. On top of that, player sentiment has been steadily declining as fans continue to ask for more maps per season and for more gameplay variety in each new map. As Season 2 comes to a close, players hope that the launch of Season 3 next week will start to correct the course...
