Classic Battlefield Content Will Be Returning To BF6 On Xbox Series X|S

Yesterday's gameplay reveal for Battlefield 6 may have been light on actual gameplay, but we did get lots of other details about the upcoming EA title, including its new testing program Battlefield Labs. However, some additional details were also shared with journalists and content creators who attended an online presentation for the game - and that briefing seems to have confirmed that 'Battlefield Portal' will return in BF6.

Prominent Battlefield YouTuber Flakfire revealed in a new video that EA & DICE plans to bring back Battlefield Portal for the upcoming BF title. The content creator seemed surprised that the team confirmed this addition, despite not mentioning it in yesterday's public reveal.

"Lastly, we got surprising confirmation in the briefing that Portal will be making a return with the next Battlefield title.

You might recall this is one of the things I expected would be carried over from Battlefield 2042, but I honestly did not expect to get confirmation on that so soon.

The devs said Portal could be one of those 'slices' tested under the Battlefield Labs program."

If you don't remember exactly what Battlefield Portal is, well, it was introduced as an in-game toolset for adding classic Battlefield content to the team's last release - 2042. There were a bunch of maps and modes from Battlefield 1942, Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 included, and that content was then featured in various different playlists within 2042 - bringing some fan-favourite additions to the futuristic title.

For now, we're not sure exactly what classic content will be packed into the Battlefield 6 version of Portal, but it's good to hear that this feature is returning nonetheless. If nothing else, Portal will add some nice variety to the main BF6 experience, and we should hear more about it — and the upcoming game generally — in the coming weeks and months.
