Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios have outlined the current set of known issues affecting the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, offering players a central reference point for reported bugs. With the game still in active development ahead of its October 10 release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, the development team is using this early access phase to gather feedback and identify problems for future patches.
The studio notes that the Open Beta build is the same as that used during the Multiplayer Reveal Event, meaning some recent weapon balancing adjustments are not yet included. As such, certain gameplay and performance quirks are to be expected, from animation inconsistencies to UI bugs and stability concerns. Developers plan to update the list regularly as the beta period progresses.

With the official release set for October 10, players can expect ongoing updates and improvements as Battlefield Studios works toward delivering a stable and polished experience across all platforms.
