EA has rolled out a major new update for Battlefield 6, with Version 1.1.1.0 setting the stage for the launch of Season 1 later this week.
The patch, which goes live on Tuesday, October 28, delivers widespread gameplay fixes, movement and weapon adjustments, and major improvements to lighting, audio, and performance.
The update will be available to download at 09:00 UTC, while Season 1 content, including the Battle Pass and new seasonal features will unlock later that day at 15:00 UTC. Players can continue playing as normal between those times, though progression and seasonal unlocks will not activate until Season 1 officially begins.
According to EA, Update 1.1.1.0 focuses on “polish, performance, and player feedback,” refining everything from animation transitions and aiming precision to fog behavior and destruction effects. It’s one of the most comprehensive patches since launch, covering every major gameplay system and map rotation.
