Battlefield 6 devs warn players to expect server queues when logging in

by

Now that Battlefield 6 is finally available, DICE is letting players know to expect some wait times to connect to servers, at least initially.

There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Battlefield 6. The game’s beta test was incredibly popular, and many first-person shooter fans are hoping it will finally provide strong competition to Call of Duty in 2025.

Although the beta test was very popular, many players experienced long wait times to access it due to server queues that often exceeded 200,000 people.

Now that the game has officially launched, the developers have explained they’re using a system to handle the large number of players logging in on day one.

This helps prevent you from getting stuck in slow-loading games or losing connection, though it might take a bit more time to start playing.

During the game’s testing phase, players sometimes waited over an hour to connect before the server’s capacity was expanded. Now, with the full launch, players are hoping the wait times won’t be nearly as long.
