Spectator Mode

Why was the Spectator Mode in Battlefield 5 removed from Battlefield 6? I believe that reintroducing Spectator Mode would actually improve the anti-cheating system. Additionally, I hope that Battlefield 6 will support private servers just like Battlefield 5 did, and that spectator bots can be added to these private servers. This would restrict high-level players, try hards, and cheaters, making the game much more beginner-friendly.

Hi there,

I'm happy to let you know that custom Lobbies and Spectator Mode are arriving with Season 4 Phase 2: Top Gun on August 18 through Battlefield Labs in Live.

Building on the foundations of Portal, Custom Lobbies will give hosts more direct control when setting up and running a match. Hosts will be able to assign players to specific teams, adjust select match settings, and organize private sessions or community tournaments, with Spectator Mode providing ways to follow the action.

Initial support will include Battle Royale Quads and Conquest, with additional modes planned as the feature expands. More information on these features will be shared in a future article before the Top Gun update launches.

At the moment, the developers are barely managing to fix the basic elements of the game, which runs worse with every update. Blinded by confidence in their new anti-cheat system, they forgot to add spectator mode—which would achieve more than their broken system.
Previous games in the series had spectator mode; here, they forgot about it entirely—which only confirms to everyone that the people responsible for this game have no knowledge of its predecessors.
