Battlefield 6 developers have confirmed that the game will run at 60 FPS in performance mode on all consoles, including the Xbox Series S. This is a notable promise given the hardware differences among consoles, and it shows the developers are paying close attention to performance as well as visuals.
Since the multiplayer gameplay reveal, the team at DICE has been sharing bits of info through interviews and social media. For example, they recently talked about the server browser, and EA explained that matchmaking will link console players with others on the same platform. Now, a fresh interview reveals more about Battlefield 6’s performance mode.
Performance is as Important as Graphics
Spotted by Tech4Gamers, the principal game designer at DICE, Florian Le Bihan, spoke with Tech & Co about the game’s performance mode. He emphasized that optimization has been a priority for the team. They want Battlefield 6 to be not only “graphically super beautiful” but also to run smoothly on all configurations, whether it’s Xbox Series consoles, PC, or PS5.
Le Bihan added that the developers guarantee 60 FPS on all console experiences. That includes the Xbox Series S, which is impressive considering its lower specs compared to the Series X. On PC and PlayStation 5 Pro, players will be able to push beyond 60 FPS in performance mode. Wow, that’s quite a promise, right? But what about the balance between visuals and framerate? Guess they’re hoping it works well for everyone.
Besides performance, Battlefield 6 will also include skill-based matchmaking, though the way it works will change depending on the game mode. For those curious about the beta, the confirmed maps, modes, and weapons have been revealed. So, there’s quite a bit to look forward to.
What do you think about the developers guaranteeing 60 FPS on all consoles, even the Xbox Series S? Do you expect it to hold up in intense multiplayer battles?
