Battlefield s Portal Mode Is The Answer To People Not Wanting A Game They Can Complete

Introduced in Battlefield 2042, Portal is a mode that allows players to create custom game modes, and for Battlefield 6, it's getting a big overhaul. UX director Alan Pimm said in a new interview that Battlefield Studios is putting a lot of investment into Portal for this year's game in part because fans want a game they can keep playing over and over again and finding new things along the way.

"People don't just want a game that they can complete," Pimm told VideoGamer. "They want one that they can grow, that they can evolve, or they can make their dreams come true."

Portal is similar to Fortnite's Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and Halo's Forge. For Battlefield 6, the developer is expanding what's possible and allowing users to create entire maps, and these maps and modes will provide XP like you'd get in the official playlists. However, anyone hoping to create a map with an XP exploit shouldn't expect that to work. The Portal mode will displays warnings within the editor to alert creators about whether or not their creation will allow for genuine XP gain or not.
