Over the past week, the game has received numerous negative reviews due to the REDSEC battle royale scandal. Players are also criticizing the project for its small maps and paid battle passes.
Battlefield 6's beta and release were initially very successful, but since then, numerous issues and bugs have lowered the game's overall Steam ratings.
The negative user reaction over the past week has grown, dropping Battlefield 6 to the second worst shooter in the entire franchise. This suggests that if the developers don't fix the situation, the initial positive assessment may not hold.
According to SteamDB, Battlefield 6's rating has fallen to 65.55%, second only to BF2042 with 46.72%. This is even lower than Battlefield Hardline, known among fans for deviating from the classic series formula.
The increase in bad reviews began after the launch of the free-to-play REDSEC battle royale mode, linked to the first season. Players criticized the project for forcing them to complete weekly tasks specifically in this mode.
Over time, the community noticed that the maps in Battlefield 6 are among the smallest in the series, which some believe is done to promote the huge battle royale map.
The paid battle pass in the full-price game has only exacerbated the discontent. Also, many players from different countries dislike the localization.
With the current trend of negative reviews, if the developers don't fix the situation, Battlefield 6 may soon become the lowest-rated game in the series on Steam.
