Battlefield 6’s next big post-launch update is coming this week. Electronic Arts has released the patch notes for update 1.1.3.0, detailing new content, improvements, and fixes for the military shooter. Dubbed “Winter Offensive,” the new content will be the third major addition to Battlefield 6 since its launch on October 10. This update will add new limited-time maps, modes, and more to the game.
EA shared details about the 1.1.3.0 update on the Battlefield 6 website on Friday. In addition to the Winter Offensive content, the update will bring a host of improvements, including the much-requested better hit recording, improved weapon handling, and better visibility of soldiers at close range.
