"Back in December, Battlefield 6 came under fire for releasing cosmetics that appeared to be made at least partly with generative AI. As Kotaku reported at the time, EA was aware of the issue and trying to investigate the cause throughout the winter break. Were players right to freak out? EA isn't saying. The closest we're getting to an answer is a new patch that changes some of the in-game items accused of being slop."
"The original backlash came when players noticed an M4A1 emblem from the winter cosmetic pack that EA was selling had two barrels. That sparked an investigation of other recent additions to the game for anything that looked vaguely off, including a bear that seemed to have extra claws. Some fans also criticized EA in early January for the Objective Ace operator mask that looked very similar to that worn by Call of Duty 's Ghost."
In December, Battlefield 6 released cosmetic items that many players believed were at least partly generated by AI, prompting widespread criticism. EA acknowledged the issue and investigated during the winter break, then issued a 1.1.3.6 patch that "updated the Objective Ace and Winter Warning cosmetics to better align with Battlefield's visual identity." The backlash began when an M4A1 emblem displayed two barrels, and players flagged other anomalies such as a bear with extra claws and an Objective Ace mask resembling Call of Duty's Ghost. Observers linked these problems to high content volume, insufficient resources and quality checks. EA leadership has publicly embraced AI, while a VP said no generative AI would appear in the final product, without ruling out its use during development.
