- Battlefield On PC uses a safe boot system to prevent cheating
- Dice will also allow console players to avoid PC players completely if they prefer
- Battlefield 6 launches on October 10, 2025
Battlefield 6 Developer Dice recently revealed that the Xbox Series version of the game helped make it more stable on all platforms and that ray tracing will not be activated due to performance problems, but the study is now even further to protect console players from potential cheating.
In a speech with IGN, dice developers confirmed that players on PS5 and Xbox can opt out of playing with PC players, but doing so will also prevent them from playing with each other.
Technical Director Christian Buhl told the business that the study “takes cheats extremely seriously” while noting that it is “much more widespread on PC than on console”.
“But we take a great effort and put a lot of work in prioritizing matches against cheating,” he said. “We’ve turned on for a safe trunk. We have javelin, our new anti-cheat system, which is required to play.
The decision to use Secure Boot, something also seen in Riot Games’ Valorant, has been a contentious problem with the PC community, but players at Console will be able to remove the chance of playing against a PC player.
On console, players will also be prioritized on console before the game searches for PC players by default, but by turning off it, players can stick to other PS5 or Xbox players. As confirmed in a follow-up from Dexerto, the game cannot be played between PS5 and Xbox players; However, the CrossPlay Console-to-Console Crossplay disables so PS5 players cannot take on Xbox players and vice versa.
“We are very safe, but also very eager to know what CrossPlay means for Battlefield 6,” explained Matthew Nickerson, the game’s senior console match designer, pointing to make controller-based gameplay feel as satisfactory and as exactly as players using a mouse and keyboard.
“We have gone the extra mile and put a great effort to balance the inputs and understand where the inputs are located [not just] In terms of relationships with general gaming styles, but general performance of what they are good at and maybe what they are missing. “
Nickerson also explains that AIM Assist is completely revised from Battlefield 2042 at Console.
“We have added AIM help to what we call our ‘combat triangle’ now – and it is infantry versus infantry, infantry versus vehicles and vehicles versus vehicles – to give the coherent experience if you are on controller, compared to maybe something a little easier on keyboard and mouse.”
“So [we’re] Very dedicated to crossplay and we try to seam it across multiple vectors when it comes to crossplay. It’s just such an important aspect for us and for the battlefield 6. “
