While EA and Battlefield Studios have been continuing to support Battlefield 6 through a series of updates, the latter is still working to improve the recoil. Principal game designer Florian Le Bihan has taken to social media in response to a player’s criticisms about the same, as well as note that the developers have still been working hard to figure it out.
Though the team has figured out some improvements that will help in the meantime, the issue still isn’t considered “100% fixed” yet. “We’ll get it fixed, it’s a pretty complex issue but we’re already cooking some improvements that will help quite a bit with the issue until it’s 100% fixed,” he wrote on social media.
In response to this, quite a few fans of Battlefield 6 have praised the developers for communicating with the game’s community. Aew have also made their own suggestions for how Battlefield Studios can tackle this issue, including going back to how recoil worked during the open beta and playtests.
In the meantime, Battlefield Studios and EA have also kicked off the free trial of Battlefield 6 today. The trial, slated to go on until December 2, doesn’t offer a complete Battlefield 6 experience. However, it does give players a taste that might entice them into buying the full game, since it features 5 of the game modes across 3 maps.
“Later this month, players can jump into Battlefield 6 via a free trial,” announced the company through a press release. “From November 25 to December 2, a free trial experience of Battlefield 6 with select maps and modes will be available, featuring five modes and three maps. This is your chance to experience the high-octane multiplayer warfare of Battlefield 6 for an entire week for free.”
The free trial was announced alongside the second major content drop of Battlefield 6’s Season 1. Dubbed California Resistance, the update brought with it a host of new things, including a brand new Southern California-themed map titled Eastwood, as well as a new time-limited game mode – Sabotage. The update also brought with it a host of changes, with one of the key changes being how aim assist works.
In its announcement, the developers announced that the aim assist functionality now works how it previously did during the open beta and Battlefield Labs playtests. “At launch, we increased slowdown at longer ranges, but once the game went live, we saw that this made high-zoom aiming feel less smooth and harder to control,” wrote the developers in the patch notes.
“After reviewing player feedback and gameplay data, we’re reverting aim assist back to the values some of you experienced during Open Beta and Battlefield Labs. This will now serve as the default, whilst still providing you with the ability to alter the aim assist to your preference and playstyle via settings.”
Battlefield 6 is out on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Since its release last month, it has gone on to become the best selling game of 2025 in the US. It also seemingly had a an effect on the launch week sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in Europe.
