„Humanized” aim assist and a strange decision that affects console players. Battlefield 6 devs reveal more secrets

by

Battlefield 6 is launching in just three weeks, so the developers are starting to reveal more about the game. Recently, they shared details on features like aim assist and crossplay.

Slight aim assist

Most shooting games offer some form of aim assist to help players, and some players rely on it heavily. But in the next *Battlefield* game, the developers are changing things with a new system called “Aim Assist 2.0.” This updated system is designed to reward player skill more than ever before.

We’re introducing Aim Assist 2.0, a refined system designed to be fair, competitive, and well-balanced. It’s an improvement over the system in *2042*, now utilizing real-time rendering for greater precision. Instead of relying on simple shapes like squares or spheres, we’ve switched to more complex, capsule-shaped meshes, which significantly improves consistency and overall performance.

The aim is to make players feel like their own skill is making a difference, not like the game is doing all the work for them. That’s why aim assist in *Battlefield 6* will be designed to feel natural and responsive, almost like a human helping you aim.

A strange decision regarding crossplay

So, I’m really excited to hear that the next Battlefield (Battlefield 6, as some are calling it) is bringing back crossplay! That means I’ll finally be able to squad up with my friends who are on different platforms – awesome! But, honestly, I’m a little worried too. PC players have a definite edge with their mouse and keyboard, and it can be super frustrating trying to compete against that with just a controller. Hopefully, they’ll find a way to balance things out so everyone has a fair shot.

The game will allow players on consoles to turn off crossplay, but if they do, they’ll only be able to play with others on the same console. For example, PlayStation 5 players will only compete against other PS5 players, and Xbox Series X/S players will only play against each other.

It’s a little strange that they’ve made this decision. While it makes sense to keep PC and console players separate, it would have been logical to let PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players compete against each other. But for reasons we don’t know, the new *Battlefield* game won’t allow that.
