Overview

• Matchmaking will weigh players’ ping, region, server availability and a hidden skill metric to optimize connection quality and team fairness.
• Core game modes no longer offer a traditional server browser, routing all users through the new centralized matchmaking framework.
• Community-hosted experiences remain available via the Portal interface, which will sit prominently in the main menu and award full XP.
• DICE emphasizes that its SBMM system will assemble even squads on the server side rather than strictly pairing top-skilled players.
• It remains unclear how these matchmaking changes and the removal of the browser will apply to Battlefield 6’s forthcoming Battle Royale mode.
