As Battlefield 6 gears up for its highly anticipated launch on October 10, 2025, developers have emphasized a significant shift in their approach: the game is being developed with a “console-first” mentality. Technical Director Christian Buhl and Senior Console Combat Designer Matthew Nickerson have made it clear that while PC players are still a priority, the console experience is at the forefront of their development strategy. This marks a notable departure from previous titles that were primarily designed for PC and then adapted for consoles.
