Battlefield 6 We are moving forward on our live service journey. While the early part of Season 1 was met with criticism for everything from cosmetic items and RedSec to changes to battle pass progression and game modes, the Winter Offensive update, which launches on December 9, aims to address a variety of complaints from the community. There's a lot to look forward to in this patch, also known as Update 1.1.3.0.
