Now that we know Battlefield 6 won't be getting a server browser (not a real one, anyhow), it's time we put the pressure on EA to reconsider. Portal, introduced in 2042, is not a substitute for a proper server browser with dedicated servers, manned and operated by the community.
As confirmed by Battlefield 6 producer Alexia Christofi, DICE's upcoming shooter will not feature a proper server browser, but an “improved” version of Portal, first introduced in Battlefield 2042. Christofi claims this new Portal will answer all the needs of Battlefield players who so desperately want to see server browsers and dedicated servers return. Which would be fine if Portal allowed for proper plugins, tools, and server operations, rather than being a glorified custom match mode.
