Battlefield 6 made a sudden change players loved, but devs quickly backtracked because it was ‘an error’

Battlefield 6 players went on a bit of an emotional roller coaster today after the game’s 1.3.3 update went live this morning.

After the update became available on June 30, an in-game message popped up for players explaining that XP Boosts would now begin to only “count down based on in-game time instead of real time” as they have been. It was a huge hit with players…until it wasn’t.
