Battlefield Studios sent players an in-game message announcing that XP Boosters would now count down based on in-game time. The company quickly reversed course and stated the alert was sent by mistake.
On Tuesday, patch 1.3.3.0 was released for Battlefield 6 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Players received an in-game mail titled "XP Boost Update: Now Based on In-Game Time" that sparked celebration online.
The official Battlefield Comms account on X later posted that the message "was sent in error" and had been removed. The post stated there are no changes to how XP Boosters currently work.
This marks the second such incident in a month. An earlier update on June 9 altered the in-game description in a similar way before the text was changed back.
XP Boosters in Battlefield 6 count down in real-world time, unlike earlier entries in the series where the timer ran only during matches.
