The Battlefield 6 open beta on PC has left a strong first impression, especially for longtime fans of the series. While some have noted that the maps currently available might feel a bit small for the classic Conquest mode, the gameplay loop itself evokes the best of Battlefield’s golden era. There's an unmistakable return to form here—tight squad play, chaotic vehicle moments, and that signature “only in Battlefield” magic. It's the kind of experience that feels like putting on a well-worn combat helmet and thinking, “Yeah… we’re so back.”
Visually, Battlefield 6 is an absolute showcase on PC. The graphics are stunning, with high-resolution textures, realistic lighting, and weather effects that make each firefight look like a war photographer’s dream. For those pushing the limits of their hardware—or trying to squeeze more frames from aging rigs—there’s a buffet of upscaling options like NVIDIA DLSS that keep the experience smooth and responsive. Performance-wise, the beta felt optimized out of the gate, and even with full lobbies and chaos unfolding, it ran like a dream on mid-to-high-end setups. It looks absolutely stunning on PC and we can’t wait to see all the huge maps in the full release of the game.
Just as impressive is the attention to fair play: Battlefield 6 seems to be launching with a robust anti-cheat system and secure backend support, which bodes well for the full release. It’s refreshing to see a beta that doesn’t feel like a testing ground for cheaters, but instead a real preview of what’s to come. And while these initial maps are fun and well-designed, you can’t help but daydream about the larger-scale Conquest maps promised at launch. If the beta is any indication, this could be the true return of Battlefield’s large-scale warfare glory. BRING ON THE FULL GAME!!
