Battlefield Matchmaking Does Not Prioritize Skill

Battlefield 6's open beta gave players a taste of the multiplayer package, and people have since voiced questions and concerns about the matchmaking algorithm and specifically around how skill may be factored in.

According to producer David Sirland, Battlefield 6's matchmaking system works the same as past games and what was in the beta is representative of what's being prepared for launch in October. The system prioritizes ping and "time-to-game" ahead of most everything else, including skill, Sirland said.

"Skill is a factor, but far down the list," he said.
