On 2025-11-02, Battlefield Studios unveiled a new mode called Casual Breakthrough in Battlefield 6 (BF6), aimed at catering to players seeking a less intense gaming experience. The new mode allows users to engage in both human and AI opponent battles.
Details of the New Mode
Casual Breakthrough features 24-player teams, each comprising eight human players and 16 AI-controlled bots. This mix allows players to complete challenges and earn progression without facing the full pressure of all-human opponents. Real opponent interactions yield full experience points, while AI engagements offer reduced XP.
This mode currently runs on the Siege of Cairo and Empire State maps. However, it does not include rewards such as dogtags, accolades, or career stat upgrades, ensuring a distinct experience compared to traditional BF6 modes.
Adjustments and Future Prospects
Battlefield Studios has also implemented reduced XP rates in unverified Portal experiences and temporary XP alterations for the Strikepoint region. These changes are part of an investigation into a loophole that previously allowed players to gain rapid experience points.
The company plans to monitor player feedback and may introduce adjustments to Casual Breakthrough mode based on community input. This adaptive approach reflects the developer's commitment to balancing gameplay for various player preferences.
