BF6 is not compatible with rest mode
This bug sucks. Every single time I wake my PS5 from Rest Mode with Battlefield 6 still open, the game reconnects to servers and then freezes on the message “Party Leader Selects Experience.” I’m not in a party. It never recovers — the only fix is to fully close and relaunch the game. It defeats the entire purpose of Rest Mode and makes the game feel broken.
Game Version:
Battlefield 6 (latest live build as of November 2025)
Description:
When resuming Battlefield 6 from PS5 Rest Mode, the game reconnects to online services but freezes on a message saying “Party Leader Selects Experience.” I’m not in a party, but the game acts like I am. Nothing loads, and the only fix is to manually close and reopen the game.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Battlefield 6 on PS5 and connect to online services.
- Enter any mode or sit at the main menu.
- Put the PS5 into Rest Mode.
- Wake the console and resume the game.
- The game reconnects but remains stuck on “Party Leader Selects Experience.”
Expected Result:
Game should reconnect cleanly and return to the menu or previous state without showing false party messages.
Actual Result:
Game reconnects partially, displays “Party Leader Selects Experience,” and becomes unresponsive.
Workarounds Tried:
- Restarting the game (works temporarily)
- Logging out/in to PSN or EA Account (no effect)
- Rebuilding PS5 database (no effect)
Impact:
Rest Mode is unusable — players must restart the game every time they wake the console, which wastes time and undermines a core PS5 feature.
