The Fidelity mode emphasizes resolution, while Performance targets frame rate. Fidelity mode on Xbox Series X reaches a maximum resolution of 1440p and targets 60fps, while PS5's Fidelity mode cranks up to 1440p and 60fps. Performance mode on Xbox Series X reaches a maximum resolution of 1280p but targets 80fps, and the same values hold for PS5's Performance mode. The PS5 Pro, meanwhile, ratchets things up to 2160p/60fps for Fidelity mode and 1620p/80fps for Performance mode.

It's no secret that Xbox Series S isn't as powerful as Xbox Series X and PS5. As such, that created a challenge for EA and Battlefield Studios in bringing Battlefield 6 to Microsoft's console. But, at the same time, technical director Christian Buhl noted supporting Xbox Series S wasn't much different than focusing on different performance targets across PC builds.

"That was because we wanted to focus on performance," Buhl said. "We wanted to make sure that all of our effort was focused on making the game as [optimized] as possible for the default settings and default users."

Roughly 9-minutes of new footage of Battlefield 6 recently leaked showing off more of its battle royale mode. The map looks massive and the gameplay shows swimming and shooting while in the water. There's also a dual-purpose ladder gizmo and smashing through a concrete wall with a sledgehammer. "Can't wait to play 1 single round of this then go back to the real Battlefield and never touch it again," wrote on fan on Reddit.

The Battlefield 6 testing program, Battlefield Labs, is ramping back up this week following the end of the game's popular open beta earlier this month. A leaked document reveals that the next Battlefield Labs test will begin on Friday, August 29, across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. There is no word yet on what content might be in the next Labs test, however.

Battlefield 6's open beta didn't top all of the charts last week, but it did take No. 1 on Steam before landing at No. 4 on both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. Circana senior director Mat Piscatella has shared charts tracking player engagement during the week ending on August 16, and Battlefield 6 was dominant on Steam in North America, Canada, and Mexico.

The recent Battlefield 6 open beta was a massive success for EA and Battlefield Studios, amassing over half a million concurrent players on Steam.

The M87A1 shotgun was too powerful in the beta, many said, and now Battlefield Studios will make a change to it so it "requires more pellets to secure a kill." The developer was made aware of the shotgun issues almost immediately after the beta went live, and the studio said on August 10 that the shotgun problems were already "resolved" in a different build of the game.

The free pass includes six cosmetic packs, unlocked by progressing through tiers; for example, Tier 8 offers a Western Front weapon skin and more.

The Assault class in Battlefield 6 is designed for players seeking constant action with a focus on close combat and aggressive gameplay.
