EA and Battlefield Studios’ upcoming first-person shooter, Battlefield 6, will target a frame rate of 60 fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
During an interview on the Tech & Co YouTube channel, Florian Le Bihan, Principal Game Designer at Battlefield Studios, was asked how the development team is ensuring that the upcoming first-person shooter runs well on both consoles and PC with all of its environmental destruction happening in real-time. In response, he said that optimization has been one of the most important things for the studio during the development of Battlefield 6.
According to Florian, the team at Battlefield Studios is making sure it’s not just a visually stunning game, but also one that runs smoothly across all configurations, whether on PC or on all Xbox Series X|S and PS5 consoles. As such, the development team put a lot of effort into optimizing the game, which has resulted in a guaranteed 60 fps performance profile for all consoles, and even higher on PC. Furthermore, he mentioned that the frame rate on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S can also go above 60 fps when running Battlefield 6 in its Performance mode.
Further in the interview, the Battlefield Studios game designer was asked about the introduction of tactical combat in the upcoming installment, and how the studio made sure each class has a meaningful role. He explained that the development team looked at the classes from previous Battlefield games and tried to find a formula that really works, where each role embraces key features like destruction and uses them to their fullest potential. He gave examples for each class, saying that the Assault class will be up front, blowing holes in walls and opening the way for others. Meanwhile, the Support class will stay behind, reviving teammates. The Engineer will handle vehicles, while the Recon will be spotting and providing intel for the rest of the squad.
Battlefield 6 is set for release on October 10, 2025, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
