Battlefield 6 is betting on Portal to become a shooter eternally popular.

It was 2021 when Battlefield 2042 introduced Portal mode, a tool that allowed players to create their own rules, mix eras, and unleash their creativity. However, the execution wasn't entirely convincing. Four years later, Battlefield 6 returns with a clear idea: Portal isn't an add-on. It's the heart of the game.

In an interview with Videogamer , Battlefield 6 UX Director Alan Pimm summed up the new title's philosophy with one key phrase: "People want to grow, evolve, or make their dreams come true." This statement sets the tone for a shooter that not only aims to entertain, but also to offer a living ecosystem where players can create, share, and stay active for years to come.

EA and Battlefield Studios have listened to their community and decided to go all in. The new Portal is not only more powerful, but also more accessible, versatile, and ambitious .

New features include:

• Level editing with intuitive tools.
• Possibility of inserting objects and modifying terrain .
• Editable interface to create unique experiences.
• Use of advanced scripts , which extend the game mechanics.
• Regulated XP system , which detects and penalizes “experience farms.”

In other words, you can create anything from a tactical training map to an epic battlefield with surreal rules, and still gain experience and progress .

Pimm is clear: Battlefield 6 isn't meant to be completed and then left behind. The goal is to create an environment where the game remains relevant years after launch , even if EA releases a new installment like Battlefield 7 .

That longevity depends not only on official content, but also on the creative power of the community . “There are players who only play for an hour a day, and others who spend eight. We want to give them tools so everyone can have fun, wherever they are,” explains the director.

EA's new approach goes far beyond graphics or combat. With this Battlefield, they're looking for a collaborative, dynamic, and community-focused experience. It's no coincidence that Portal mode is the star: they want the game to be as much yours as it is theirs . From clans designing their own battlefield, to casual players who just want to have a good time without frustration, Battlefield 6 has a clear mission: to be the ultimate shooter by and for gamers .
