Battlefield 6’s Seasonal Events Double Down on FOMO

Battlefield 6 has had a strange launch for its inaugural season. On one hand, Battlefield: RedSec is a strong battle royale experience that is getting more eyes on the franchise. Its destruction and map have been key points of praise, though for those who only like multiplayer, it’s been nothing but a source of ire. Battlefield 6 has been review bombed due to RedSec, with players lashing out at the BR for having the kind of map and destruction they want in the base game. It’s also been blamed, fairly or not, for the introduction of the battle pass and in-game store to BF6, while players are also unhappy that the pass features challenges that can only be completed in the BR mode. Sadly, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
