The development team aims to “create the best experience possible for this mode,” but their fixes are far from over. Just two days after the launch, EA confirmed that they were working on additional issues; one such fix deals with an unintended interruption of jump momentum while using specific weapons. This update is now live across all platforms and should activate in your next match.
Overview of Battlefield 6’s Day One Patch
In total, the Battlefield 6 day one patch consists of 2,800 words and signals significant changes across movement mechanics, vehicles, and some fan-favorite firearms.
EA has also revealed that there are over 200 modifications in this initial patch based on feedback collected from a rigorous 92 million hours of open beta testing. Principal game designer Florian le Bihan shared insights, emphasizing that they are addressing issues with jump momentum when using certain weapons (like the knife). He stated they are closely tracking community feedback on various elements involving the core gameplay loop, such as weapon mechanics and movement.
It’s encouraging to see these rapid fixes, which many players view positively. YouTuber “Westie” commented on the momentum fix, stating, “EA is already fixing Battlefield 6… 48 hours after launch, they’re patching some movement bugs to improve gameplay. Incredible work from the developers.”

After receiving feedback from Westie and others about matchmaking issues and calls for an in-game server browser, lead producer David Sirland mentioned the possibility of hosting an official server in the meantime. However, he hinted at future enhancements by stating, “This setup being used and working well is the first step towards something that can bridge that, so one step at a time.”
Looking Ahead for Battlefield 6
The ongoing updates from EA signal a positive trajectory for Battlefield 6, creating a sense of optimism that wasn’t present with its controversial predecessor, Battlefield 2042. Additionally, the introduction of free XP boosters and battle passes is likely a welcome aspect for many players.
