BF6 Red Sec – Hit Registration, Desync and Audio Issues / PS5

Game is frustratingly unplayable for me. My matches are cursed with everything mentioned in this post. 

EDIT: The latest update from April 14th, 2026 improved hit registration and audio on PS5. There are still occasional cases of issues with tracking some players (perhaps related to their lag), and there’s still plenty to fix. But the game plays much better now, without the strong feeling that it’s cheating us. Unfortunately, as always, this state requires spending a lot of time on the practice range to fine-tune the controller settings (why are there so many confusing controller options — can’t this be optimized somehow?). Just don’t ruin this state.

EDIT 2: However, it’s not all that great. After a few maybe a dozen good matches, the game starts matching me with players who seem almost impossible to hit. It may not be as bad as it was before the update, but it’s still a noticeable issue. It feels exactly like in COD SBMM kicks in and there’s nothing you can do about it. It shouldn’t be the case that the game punishes players with a good internet connection just because others have poor connections. There are still situations despite the audio being noticeably better where I only hear footsteps 2 maybe 3 steps before an enemy runs into me, although this might also be related to the opponent’s poor connection. As a Battlefield veteran, I also want to protest against changes that make the game more similar to COD. This style of gameplay is fundamentally different from what I expect from the Battlefield series. COD is more suited for YouTubers and players who use various kinds of exploits, and things like constant jumping combined with crouching and going prone while keeping the aim locked on my head only make it easier for them. I support adding aim sway or disruption when changing any stance, and the same should apply when jumping down from rooftops, etc. You have a solid foundation, but you’re still leaning too much toward COD style gameplay. You will never be as good as they are in that area, and you won’t attract their players to Battlefield but you may end up losing loyal Battlefield fans because of it.
