• We are deploying Update 1.1.1.0 on Tuesday, October 28, followed by the Season 1 launch later that day at the following times:
• 09:00 UTC: Update 1.1.1.0 goes live on all platforms. Players will be prompted to download and install the update, which includes all technical and gameplay changes.
• 15:00 UTC: Season 1 content, including the Battle Pass and new seasonal features, becomes available for all players.
• Between these times, players can continue to play Battlefield 6 as normal after updating, but Season 1 content and progression will unlock at 15:00 UTC.
• The Season 1 Update marks the next step in our ongoing journey to evolve and expand the Battlefield 6 experience. This includes fixes, balance changes, and quality-of-life improvements focused on polish, performance, and player feedback to deliver an even smoother experience moving forward.

Major Updates for 1.1.1.0

• Improved core movement and animations, including smoother landings, faster stance transitions, better vaulting behavior, and reduced “bouncing” issues on landing or spawning.
• Reworked weapon dispersion to better align accuracy and handling with each weapon’s intended design and performance over range. These changes address cases where accuracy behaved inconsistently, such as dispersion not properly settling after sprinting, and bring overall firing behavior closer to the intended balance between precision, control, and weapon power.
• Significant visibility and lighting improvements, with better exposure transitions, interior lighting, and reduced fog and smoke persistence.
• Audio overhaul, adding new projectile flybys, destruction and explosion sounds, refined vehicle and weapon mixes, and improved haptic feedback across multiple interactions.
• UI and HUD updates for clarity and consistency, including overtime indicators, end-of-round fixes, and new unlock markers for weapons and gadgets.
• Map fixes across multiple locations, resolving spawn animations, out-of-bounds issues, misaligned assets, and general stability across Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush modes.
