Battlefield 6 has stormed onto the gaming scene, selling over 7 million copies and marking a franchise-best launch. The game recently achieved a peak concurrent player count of 747,000, showcasing its massive popularity. However, despite its success, players have raised a glaring issue—quite literally—with the game's overly bright lighting, particularly the in-game sun, which causes visual discomfort and loss of detail when transitioning from indoor to outdoor environments.
The issue has sparked significant discussion among the Battlefield 6 community, with players taking to platforms like X to voice their frustrations. The intense brightness, especially when exiting buildings, obscures visibility and disrupts gameplay, making it difficult to spot enemies or navigate effectively. This has led to a wave of feedback directed at developer DICE, urging them to address the problem.
Florian Le Bihan, Battlefield 6's principal game designer, acknowledged the issue in a response to a player on X, stating that DICE is "working on a set of improvements in this area." While this reassurance has given players hope, Le Bihan did not provide a specific timeline for when these fixes will be implemented, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further updates.
In the absence of an immediate solution, the Battlefield 6 community has taken matters into their own hands, experimenting with creative workarounds. Some players have proposed unconventional methods to mitigate the glare, though these have met with mixed success. A more practical suggestion for PC players involves enabling HDR settings. By turning on HDR on their monitors and enabling HDR 1000 in Windows, some users report a reduction in glare, restoring visual clarity. However, this solution is limited to those with compatible hardware and does not address the issue for console players or those without HDR-capable displays.
Beyond the lighting concerns, Battlefield 6 continues to evolve. Battlefield Studios recently announced plans to patch out XP farms, which have allowed some players to exploit the game’s progression system. To balance this change, the developer is introducing an experience point boost for players who participate in match competition and complete daily challenges. This update aims to reward active engagement and maintain a fair competitive environment.
The game’s first major content drop, Battlefield 6 Season 1, is slated to launch on October 28, promising new content and features to keep players engaged. However, the upcoming release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on November 14 could pose a challenge, potentially drawing players away from Battlefield 6 as the two franchises vie for dominance in the competitive shooter market.
Battlefield 6 is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, offering players across multiple platforms the chance to experience its intense, large-scale battles. As DICE works to address the sun glare issue and rolls out new updates, the Battlefield 6 community remains hopeful that the game will continue to shine—without blinding them.
