Overview

  • Battlefield 6’s server browser is limited to Portal, showcasing only community-created maps and modes in the main menu.
  • Players can earn full XP on these user-generated experiences just like in official playlists.
  • Official servers are excluded from the browser and require matchmaking through various playlists instead.
  • The Battlefield 6 open beta begins August 7 to test Portal’s expanded editor, matchmaking flow, and progression features.
  • Critics say Portal 2.0 does not replace a traditional server browser or dedicated servers and urge EA to restore legacy browsing options.
