Having successfully revived an ailing FPS series, Battlefield 6 started life in 2025 with a tactically destructive blaze of glory. That impact was reflected in its three nominations for 2025’s The Game Awards (for best audio design, best action game, and best multiplayer). But such recognition feels like a faint silver lining as the year draws to a close.
Consistently pushed down in Steam’s most-played charts, there’s no doubt that both BF6 and RedSec are largely decent fun, but criticism hasn’t been hard to find, and BF6 specifically has lacked the scale the franchise was built on. Step forward, then, Winter Offensive.
