Era of Piracy
Yarrrrrrr Mateys, Set sails through the Era of Piracy on the quest for… **Unknown Location Transmission** Hooo hooo hooooo! At last—the moment I've been waiting for! Perhaps you have too... though you just didn’t know it yet. Allow me to introduce myself—for the three beings in this galaxy who somehow haven’t heard of me. You may know me from my tales of priceless cargo I’ve recently “acquired”—allegedly, of course. You may know me from my legendary escapades involving Jedi Masters, Sith Lords, a few massive armies, and—well, the details change, but the outcome is always the same: profit. For me. A word of warning, offered free of charge: do not let this charming smile lull you into a false sense of security. I live by one simple rule—“Speak freely… but carry a big blaster.” So without further ado… Ladies, gentlemen, droids, bounty hunters, bureaucrats, and whatever that guy is—prepare yourselves. From the Outer Rim's most disreputable cantinas to the Core's least-secure vaults, I give you the undisputed, unpredictable, undeniably profitable pride of Florrum… Pirates Era Units: Episode 1: Captain Ithano Episode 1: Quiggold Episode 2: Kix Episode 2: Brutus Episode 3: Vane Episode 3: Captain Silvo Conquest Character: Maz Kanata Era Battle: Raiders of the Outer Rim Plunder and Pillage! What is an Era Battle? Era Battles are similar to Assault Battles but limited time, playable during and shortly after the associated Era and requiring Era obtained Units. The cadence seen with previous Era Battles is also the planned cadence for this event.

Battlefield 6 - Community Update - Naval Warfare and Our Journey Since Launch
Naval Warfare Returns in Season 4 Tsuru Reef Battlefield 6 Today What Players are Enjoying Right Now Season 3 by the Numbers Community Experiences Worth Trying Built Together With Community Feedback Combat Quality of Life Play Your Way Ranked Battle Royale More To Come Welcome Back Hey everyone, As we prepare for Season 4, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on how Battlefield 6 has evolved since launch. Over the past several months, Battlefield 6 has grown into a broader, more varied experience than it was at launch. The game now features 15 multiplayer maps, up from 9 at launch, alongside 58 weapons, new vehicles, returning modes, seasonal events, and community-created ways to play. That growth has been shaped directly by your feedback across our community channels, through Battlefield Labs, and by how you play the game. One of the clearest examples has been map variety, where we've seen both community conversations and player surveys reflect a positive shift as battlefields like Railway to Golmud and Cairo Bazaar have expanded the ways you can play. With Season 4 landing on July 21, we're building on that momentum through the addition of Naval Warfare, the introduction of Tsuru Reef, the return of Wake Island later in the season, and more updates shaped by your feedback. If it’s been a while since your last deployment, there’s never been a better time to jump back in. Naval Warfare Returns in Season 4 Season 4 expands Battlefield’s all-out warfare with the return of Naval Warfare, introducing an all-new lineup of naval vehicles designed specifically for combat across open water. These new boats expand Battlefield's combined arms sandbox, introducing new tactical opportunities throughout every match. Supporting Naval Warfare is an all-new dynamic wave system that changes how battles play out on the water, bringing another compelling element to naval combat. Battlefield has always been about player choice. Some battlefields are designed around fast-paced infantry combat, while others provide room to maneuver, make use of vehicles, and approach objectives from different angles. Naval Warfare builds on that philosophy by expanding how players can approach every engagement. Together with Tsuru Reef, Naval Warfare brings Battlefield's signature land, sea, and air combat together into one experience. If you haven’t seen our action-packed Season 4 Gameplay Trailer, make sure to check it out here. We'll also be taking a closer look at Naval Warfare and how to use the new naval vehicles in the days ahead. Tsuru Reef Launching alongside Season 4, Tsuru Reef is a brand-new battlefield built around Naval Warfare and Battlefield's signature combined arms gameplay. Designed to support combat across land, sea, and air, Tsuru Reef offers a variety of ways to approach every match. As one of our largest battlefields, it gives players more room to maneuver, open up new flanking opportunities, coordinate vehicle pushes, and choose how they want to tackle each objective. Whether you're taking the fight onto the water or leading the charge on land, Tsuru Reef is designed to create memorable Battlefield moments while giving you the freedom to play your way. We'll be sharing a dedicated look at Tsuru Reef before Season 4 launches, exploring the map's layout, design philosophy, and the new opportunities it creates for players. Battlefield 6 Today Let’s take a moment to look back at how Battlefield 6 has evolved over the past several months. We've expanded the fight between NATO and Pax Armata with new maps like Railway to Golmud and Cairo Bazaar while continuing to refine the overall experience based on your feedback. With these additions, we've seen community sentiment around our maps improve significantly through our Discord surveys as players continue discovering experiences that match their preferred playstyle. Data results from open Community Surveys shared on the official Discord. Today, Battlefield 6 features an expansive arsenal of weapons alongside a growing roster of vehicles, whether that's taking to the skies in the Little Bird or racing across the battlefield on the dirt bike. Combined with new modes, Community Experiences, seasonal events, and Ranked Battle Royale, Battlefield 6 offers more variety than ever before. With Season 4 just around the corner, Battlefield 6 will continue to expand with new weapons, vehicles, maps, and experiences. What Players are Enjoying Right Now One of the best parts of every game update is seeing how quickly we see you find new ways to create unforgettable moments. One of the biggest conversations following our latest update has been around the improvements to gunplay and netcode. Across our community channels, many of you have been highlighting the more predictable recoil, stronger weapon identity, and more responsive firefights. We've also seen positive discussion around the return of limb damage multipliers, with many players feeling that engagements now reward accuracy and weapon mastery while remaining approachable for new players. Season 3 by the Numbers Since the start of Season 3 through July 2nd, here’s what you’ve been up to on the battlefield. All figures represent combined gameplay hours across all players. Railway to Golmud quickly became Battlefield 6’s most-played map during Season 3, with players spending over 16 million hours battling across its large-scale sandbox. That’s nearly 2.5x the playtime of the next most-played map, Contaminated, which continues to be a favorite from Season 2. Cairo Bazaar, despite arriving midway through Season 3, has already accumulated more than 5.7 million hours of gameplay as players continue jumping into its fast-paced infantry combat. The return of Obliteration has generated more than 413 million hours of explosive gameplay, showing just how enthusiastically the community has welcomed its return. Ranked Battle Royale has already surpassed 1 billion gameplay hours, with competitors continuing to climb the ladder and earn their place among Battlefield’s best. The M16A4 became Battlefield 6’s most-deployed weapon, with more than twice the deployments of any other weapon in the game. The race for the most-played mode has never been closer. Throughout Season 3, Conquest, Breakthrough, and Battle Royale all rank within roughly 200 million player gameplay hours of one another, showing just how diverse our community is. Beyond the numbers, we've loved seeing the incredible moments you've been sharing across the Battlefield community. Here are a few highlights we’ve been enjoying: A surprise launcher takedown on Railway to Golmud: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/comments/1uf25tj/you_miss_100_of_the_shots_you_dont_take/ The dream shotgun flank on Cairo Bazaar: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield6/comments/1u44qls/dream_shotgun_flank_on_bazaar/ When medics don't cooperate... improvise: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1upx3qf/dumb_medics_wont_give_you_ammo_try_this/ A clutch Ranked Battle Royale win: https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield_REDSEC/comments/1ua2h72/clutching_a_ranked_win_last_man_alive/ Community Experiences Worth Trying Of course, we also can’t forget about our Portal creators and community. If you’re looking for something a bit different, below are a few community-created experiences that players have been thoroughly enjoying recently. Be sure to check them out! Night Ops Conquest Created by: Andy6170 Experience Code: 1XVU6 Nighttime has fallen over the Battlefield, so prepare your night vision and get ready for some interaction in the darkness! Siege Of St. Mere Created by: mfnboomstick Experience Code: ZSS9W A Pax Armata Warlord, having taken over the riverside town of Saint Mere and nearby missile facility, offers a challenge to NATO: a face-off, with no air support. Strike at Karkand Created by: EIGuimaraes Experience Code: ZVEE4 After Egypt betrayed the Middle Eastern Coalition by joining NATO forces, the Middle Eastern Coalition joined forces with Pax Armata to defend a crucial region: Karkand ViperStudiosAndy’s Custom Breakthrough Template Community creator ViperStudiosAndy, known for his Custom Conquest template already in the SDK, has created a Custom Breakthrough template that has become a favorite among Portal creators. To recognize his contribution, we're bringing it to the Battlefield 6 SDK. The ready-made Custom Breakthrough template will be available to everyone at the launch of Season 4. It will initially ship with an earlier version and be updated to Andy's V3 later in the season. Want to try it now? Breakthrough Template: zfxyv Night Ops Breakthrough: 1ytr3 If you'd like to build your own Custom Breakthrough experience using the latest V3 version, head over to Andy's template page for more information: https://bfportal.gg/experiences/custom-breakthrough-template/ We're continually inspired by the creativity coming from the Battlefield community, and we can't wait to see what you'll build and discover next. If you want to share an experience you enjoyed a lot or one you built yourself and would like others to try out, join our official Discord server and share your experience in our Portal section! Built Together With Community Feedback Battlefield 6 continues to evolve through the conversations we have with you. From Battlefield Labs through every season since launch, your feedback has helped shape our priorities, and many of the improvements introduced throughout live service began with discussions across our community channels. Combat One of our biggest areas of focus throughout live service has been Battlefield's core combat experience. Across multiple seasons, we've refined weapon handling, improved hit registration and netcode, enhanced soldier visibility, and updated movement responsiveness to help every firefight feel more consistent, predictable, and rewarding. Our latest update in Season 3 marked another major step forward for Battlefield's gunplay. We introduced significant changes designed to create a more intuitive gunplay experience while continuing to reward skill-based play and weapon mastery. It's been fantastic to see so many of you already sharing positive feedback around these improvements, and we'll continue monitoring gameplay data alongside your feedback as we evaluate future opportunities to further improve Battlefield's combat. Quality of Life Beyond combat, we've continued refining many of the systems that support your overall Battlefield experience. Progression has been one of our biggest areas of focus throughout live service, with significant improvements introduced during Season 2 based on your feedback. Based on your feedback, we've made progression faster and more rewarding by increasing XP opportunities, simplifying challenges, and helping players unlock meaningful weapons, gadgets, and attachments earlier in their journey. Today, players progress through the Battle Pass more than 2.5 times faster on average than they did during Season 1, while Hardware Mastery improvements help unlock primary weapon attachments roughly 50% faster across all weapon categories. Alongside progression, we've continued improving menus and other quality-of-life systems to help you spend less time configuring your experience and more time playing Battlefield. We'll continue monitoring gameplay data alongside your feedback as we look for new opportunities to improve quality-of-life systems throughout Season 4. Play Your Way One of our goals has always been to give players more freedom in how they experience Battlefield. That philosophy extends to our battlefield design. Not every map is intended to play the same way, and that's by design. If fast-paced infantry combat with constant action is your preferred way to play, maps such as Hagental Base, Siege of Cairo, and Cairo Bazaar deliver close-quarters engagements with limited vehicle presence. If you enjoy Battlefield's large-scale sandbox, maps like Mirak Valley, Contaminated, Railway to Golmud, and the upcoming Tsuru Reef offer more space to maneuver, coordinate vehicle pushes, flank opposing teams, and give you more opportunities to plan your next move. No matter how you enjoy Battlefield, we want there to be an experience that's right for you. Beyond Multiplayer and REDSEC, Portal and Community Experiences continue to expand what’s possible by giving players new ways to create and play together. Ranked Battle Royale Whether you're returning to continue your climb or jumping into Ranked Battle Royale for the first time, Season 4 marks the beginning of a new competitive season, giving competitors a fresh opportunity to climb the ladder. As the new season starts, ranks will reset based on your Season 3 performance, and rewards will be distributed according to your final placement in Season 3. Alongside the new season, we're introducing additional refinements to the Ranked experience. For a full breakdown of the Season 4 Ranked Battle Royale changes, including rank resets, rewards, progression, and gameplay updates, be sure to check out our dedicated Ranked Battle Royale article. Ranked Battle Royale will continue as part of our Battlefield Labs in Live approach, where your feedback and gameplay help shape future improvements to the experience. More To Come Season 4 doesn't stop there. Later in the season, Wake Island returns to Battlefield 6, bringing one of the franchise's most iconic battlefields back for a new generation of Battlefield players. Alongside new content, we'll continue sharing gameplay updates, community events, and more details on what’s still to come throughout Season 4. We're also looking forward to continuing the conversation with you. Keep an eye out for our next Battlefield Community Q&A after Season 4 launches, where we'll be answering your questions and talking about the topics that matter most to you. Welcome Back Whether it’s been weeks or months since your last deployment, Season 4 is a great time to jump back in. Battlefield 6 has grown significantly since launch through new content, gameplay improvements, and continued collaboration with our community. We can’t wait to see the new moments you’ll create. Battlefield is at its best when we're building it together with you. Your feedback continues to shape what we work on next, helping us understand what's working well, where we should continue improving, and how Battlefield 6 can keep evolving. Please continue to share any issues on our EA forums. Join the Battlefield Discord to squad up with other players, chat with the community, participate in community events and giveaways, and visit our website for the latest news, guides, and seasonal insights. See you on the Battlefield. //The Battlefield Team This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service & Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.

Sometimes the Replay Editor doesn't export a video properly. Other skaters visually stutter briefly after teleporting nearby. Sometimes other players' Quick Drop objects are still visible, even when visibility is set to Mine Only. Players are unable to complete the Tip to Toe challenge due to Tailslides registering as Bluntslides. Pinned tasks are unintentionally duplicating.

Laundry List: Upcoming Fixes and Features - July 14, 2026
Hi Simmers! Welcome to the Laundry List, where we share the fixes and features we’re working on for our July 21 Base Game update. This month we’re introducing a new AutoSave to The Sims 4, and rolling out Memory Boost to Mac and console players to improve overall performance for more Simmers, plus continuing to fix the top-reported issues from players via EA Forums. Join us on July 14 for a special Dev Q&A in The Sims Discord, where members of the development team will talk through these updates, and answer questions live. The Sims Team Coming to The Sims 4 on July 21 AutoSave and Save Reminders From big life moments to everyday chaos, every Sim story deserves to be saved. With the July 21 update, we're introducing AutoSave and Save Reminders to help protect your progress while you play. Whether you're spending hours in Build Mode or guiding your Sims through their next adventure, these new features make it easier to keep your stories safe so you can focus on what comes next. AutoSave works quietly in the background, automatically creating save points at key moments while you play. You can customize when AutoSave happens in Game Save Settings, with options like saving after traveling between lots, after a period of playtime, or at important gameplay milestones. If you'd rather stay in control, Save Reminders like the friendly (or slightly grumpy) gnome notification below can prompt you to create a manual save at the frequency you choose. Together, these features help reduce the risk of lost progress while giving you the flexibility to save the way you want. Two grumpy save-reminder gnomes in red hats and glasses, each holding up a blue floppy-disk icon, in a playful, chaotic style. Memory Boost is Coming to all Platforms Whether you're playing with a bustling household, building your dream home, or returning to a save that's been with you for years, smoother gameplay means more time enjoying your stories. That's why we're introducing Memory Boost in the July 21 update across all platforms. Memory Boost improves how The Sims 4 manages memory while you play, helping deliver a smoother experience with reduced lag, improved frame rates and responsiveness, shorter loading times, and a lower risk of memory-related crashes. Players may notice the biggest improvements during longer play sessions, in large households, on highly decorated lots, and in older save files. While Memory Boost isn't a dedicated save repair feature, it can also improve save stability and help reduce some memory-related save issues. Want to learn more? Read our deep dive on Memory Boost. Bug Fixes This month, much of our effort went into delivering new features like Memory Boost, Auto Save, and the Save Reminder system, which meant we tackled fewer individual bug fixes than usual - but these improvements build an important foundation for what's ahead. We'll have more to share as we get closer to September, and in the meantime, here's what we've addressed in the July 21 update: Last patch, we added new Festival Notification toggles in the Options menu. In this patch, we’ve added a new toggle for Nordhaven Hobby Meetups. [EA Forums] We’ve resolved an issue where parts of a roof, or entire roof sections, could disappear when viewing upper floors in Build Mode. Roof pieces should now remain visible and render correctly regardless of the selected floor level. [EA Forums] We tested reports of corrupted lots appearing in saves with many Residential Rentals. With Memory Boost now available and enabled for all players, we can no longer reproduce this issue in any of the affected saves we collected. Upcoming Quality-of-Life Updates Over the past six months, our Quality of Life team has remained focused on delivering improvements driven by community feedback while continuing to strengthen the overall health of The Sims 4. Across multiple game updates, we've addressed many of the community's most-voted issues - from gameplay systems and Sim behaviors to UI, routing, Build/Buy, and Create a Sim fixes - alongside hundreds of additional bug fixes and quality improvements. We've also made meaningful investments in the game's long-term stability and performance, including reducing simulation lag, improving save stability for larger and more complex saves, and introducing features like Memory Boost, AutoSave, and Save Reminders to make everyday gameplay smoother, more reliable, and more resilient. Our work doesn't stop here. The next major Quality of Life update, coming in September, is focused on improving general Sim autonomy - making Sims behave more intelligently, consistently, and responsively across everyday gameplay. It's another step in our ongoing commitment to making The Sims 4 feel smoother, more reliable, and more enjoyable every time you play. We'll have more to share about the September update as we get closer to release. For all the latest news, follow Sims Direct on X and join our Discord community - we’ll share updates as they’re available. Thank you for your patience and for all the helpful reports. Please keep posting any issues you encounter on The Sims 4 EA Forums. We’ll keep checking in, and together we’ll make this game the best it can be.Memory Boost Coming to all Platforms on July 21
Sul Sul, Simmers! We're always looking for ways to make your time in The Sims 4 feel smoother, more stable, and more fun. We're focused on improvements that benefit as many Simmers as possible. Memory Boost is one of those improvements. Available on all platforms with our July 21 Base Game update, Memory Boost improves how The Sims 4 manages memory while you play. That means less lag, better performance, and fewer memory-related crashes, so you can spend more time telling stories and less time dealing with technical hiccups. You may notice the biggest improvements during longer play sessions, when playing with large households, on highly decorated lots, or in save files packed with years of Sims, builds, and stories. Every setup is a little different, so your experience may vary depending on your hardware. But across all platforms, Memory Boost is designed to improve stability and help make gameplay feel more consistent from the moment you hit Play. What's Included with Memory Boost? With Memory Boost enabled, players will see: Improved memory management during gameplay Reduced lag and performance slowdowns Improved frame rates and responsiveness Greater stability during extended play sessions Reduced risk of memory-related crashes Reduced loading times Improved Save Stability Memory Boost can also help with certain save-related issues associated with memory limitations. During testing, some players experiencing issues such as missing lot data were able to recover affected content after enabling Memory Boost and loading their save. While Memory Boost is not intended to be a dedicated save-repair tool and may not resolve every save-related issue, its improvements to memory management can help reduce the likelihood of certain problems occurring and support overall save stability. Thank you to everyone who continues to share feedback and experiences with us. Your reports help shape our Quality of Life initiatives and guide future improvements to performance, stability, and the overall gameplay experience in The Sims 4. Happy Simming! The Sims Team
