Producer wants Battlefield 6 leaks removed and NDA preserved for playtest

Since the start of the Battlefield 6 playtest, countless video clips have surfaced on social media. Although EA initially tried to take down these posts, more footage appears daily. That has made some gamers wonder if the publisher has dropped the NDA signed by testers. Unfortunately, Battlefield lead producer David Sirland is pouring cold water on the theory. Responding on X, Sirland expects EA to aggressively pursue any player spoiling new Battlefield 6 gameplay additions or visuals.

Battlefield Labs will host a series of playtests, which could impact the undetermined Battlefield 6 release date. EA and developer Dice are trying to avoid the bugs and poor optimization that plagued Battlefield 2042. A few thousand players joined the first session, but it's been enough to supply fans with a steady stream of leaked content.

A poster asked Sirland if removing the restrictions would lead to more helpful community feedback. However, the Battlefield lead producer believes Dice receives enough information already. He also hinted at a broader Battlefield 6 playtest where more gamers could join.

NDAs are typical for private beta or alpha tests, where bugs could give buyers a negative impression. Still, considering the positive reactions to the leaks, EA might not feel rushed to censor posters. Observers have praised the return of some Battlefield 6 gameplay elements, like the ability to drag teammates away from danger. Sirland explained that the feature is part of a "revive loop" that adds a new dimension to multiplayer matches.

For now, it's open season for Battlefield 6 leaked footage. EA will have to become much more vigilant to keep future additions to the shooter under wraps.
