– EA apologized for an app outage preventing pre-order players from accessing the game and offered compensation.

A recent update for Battlefield 6 has successfully resolved a frustrating jump momentum bug that was impacting gameplay fluidity. The issue, which caused a player’s forward momentum to be “unintentionally interrupted” during jumps depending on their equipped weapon, has now been fixed across all platforms. While the development team did not specify which weapons were involved or the exact cause, they rapidly deployed the correction, ensuring that sprinting into a jump now maintains proper momentum. Players should notice the improvement upon starting a fresh match.
In addition to the momentum fix, the developers have been closely monitoring the Breakthrough mode over the weekend. They observed that certain maps within this mode were not consistently reaching their intended player counts, leading to uneven match experiences. To address this, backend adjustments are being implemented to enhance matchmaking consistency and deliver a smoother, more balanced experience for everyone participating in Breakthrough.
Separately, EA issued an apology for an EA app outage that temporarily blocked players who pre-ordered Battlefield 6 directly through EA from accessing the game. As compensation, affected users will receive a free premium Season Pass along with 12 Hardware and 12 Career 60-Minute Boosters.
Despite initial server queues and capacity challenges at launch, Battlefield 6 has achieved remarkable success on Steam, quickly climbing to become the platform’s fourteenth most-popular game of all time by concurrent user numbers. This milestone was reached within just 24 hours of release, underscoring the strong player interest even as the team anticipated and planned for launch day server congestion. In reviews, the game has been praised for its thrilling multiplayer overhaul and a solid, if somewhat familiar, single-player campaign, though some critics note lingering questions about the title’s unique identity within the franchise.
