Battlefield 6 will refuse to load if you have Valorant installed on your computer because its anti-cheat software, Riot Vanguard, conflicts with Battlefield's own. The issue boils down to kernel-level anti-cheat software looking for control over the computer to prevent exploits on the deepest possible level, maybe a little too deep.
If success could be measured by numbers, Battlefield 6 would invent new math. The game, which is in its open beta right now, has just crossed the 500,000 player count on Steam, beating not only every other Battlefield before it, but also every COD title ever.
Battlefield 6 has been receiving critical and fan acclaim over the past few days, and Mike Ybarro, Blizzard's former president, has shared a similar sentiment. He says Call of Duty has "gone downhill" and that Battlefield 6 will "boot stomp" COD this year for several reasons.
YouTuber Better Gaming tested a MicroSD Express adapter to see if they could expand the Switch 2's storage with a 1TB NVMe SSD. The test failed, but further development of the adapter suggests this method of storage expansion will work in the future.
Battlefield 6 reportedly has impressive performance on both PC and console. The studio is targetting 60 FPS on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S by default while PC gets to enjoy an uncapped frame rate. New reports even suggest 300+ FPS at 1440p, on a 9800X3D paired with an RTX 5080, without upscaling.
Battlefield 6 is taking advantage of EA's Javelin anti-cheat system, which enforced Secure Boot and is classified as a kernel-level AC, potentially killing Linux and Steam Deck support before the game launches.
