In a couple of tweets on X/Twitter, the creators of Battlefield 6 are focusing intensely on developing an efficient matchmaking system that ensures players can enjoy the game with minimal hassle. Specifically addressing skill-based matchmaking (SBMM), which is often debated in online games, particularly shooters, the lead producer of Battlefield 6, David Sirland, has stated that while it’s a topic of discussion, their main focus lies elsewhere for now. This seems to be the approach taken by the team at Battlefield Studios.
During the open beta, the matchmaking prioritized all the expectations we have for launch. These priorities align with those in past games, where connection quality, specifically ping, and readiness to join a game are given top priority. Although skill level is taken into account, it’s not as significant as other factors, and our larger modes require a diverse range of skills to operate effectively.
The game’s sandbox environment requires various types of skills to function optimally, which is why the matchmaker works to balance teams during the process, ensuring an even distribution of skill levels.
In essence, Battlefield 6 is focusing on reducing the time players spend waiting between games. While player skill level will still play a role, it’s considered less critical compared to the speed of match entry. This approach seems logical for the overall health of the game. However, only after launch can we truly gauge player reactions. It’s evident that the developers are carefully considering various aspects to ensure a smooth implementation.
Feedback from Sirland came after the inaugural weekend of Battlefield 6‘s open beta testing. Generally, the response to this initial beta has been quite favorable. Players appear to be enjoying the game thus far, and there’s been a lot of acclaim for its servers. Many players reported few to no difficulties joining matches, with minimal crashes and quick queue times. This could imply that their strategy is effective. At least for now, things seem to be going well. However, it’s important to note that not all feedback was positive; there were a substantial number of cheaters detected during the opening weekend.
Here’s hoping that the second weekend of the open beta for Battlefield 6 runs smoothly and effectively addresses any issues. Players are eager to dive back in, which is a promising sign ahead of its official launch on October 10th. Currently, players are praising it as a significant improvement over the underwhelming Battlefield 2042. However, it remains to be seen if this enthusiasm will persist after the game’s actual release. If Battlefield 6 can maintain this positive momentum, Electronic Arts could be looking at a major success later in the year.
