As of now, neither EA nor DICE have released an official statement about the issue. However, this widespread downtime appears to be linked to the same server disruptions that recently affected Fortnite and Palworld — both reportedly tied to problems with Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Battlefield 6 Outage Details
According to reports, PC players are experiencing the bulk of the connection problems, while PS5 players seem to be mostly unaffected for now. Many users have taken to social media and Downdetector to share screenshots and frustration over being unable to launch the game or connect to servers.
Gaming content creator Battle(non)sense also shared an image on X (formerly Twitter), showing the Battlefield 6 title missing from his Steam library — something that multiple players have confirmed experiencing today.

Community Reaction
Within hours of the issue emerging, #Battlefield6 began trending on X as players expressed concern about losing access to their purchased copies. While most believe it’s a temporary server or database sync issue, others worry it could be related to a Steam library authorization glitch.
One user on Reddit commented, “I thought my account got hacked when the game just disappeared. Glad to see I’m not the only one.”
Possible Cause
Given that Fortnite and Palworld faced identical connectivity problems earlier in the day — both using AWS infrastructure — it’s highly likely that Battlefield 6’s current downtime is part of a wider server outage. EA’s online services heavily rely on AWS for multiplayer and account authentication, which could explain the game’s disappearance from libraries.
At the time of writing, Battlefield 6 servers remain unstable on PC, though console users have reported normal performance. Players are advised not to uninstall or modify game files until EA provides official confirmation or a fix.
Official Response Awaited
EA and DICE have yet to issue a statement, but a fix is expected soon. Historically, similar outages tied to backend authentication usually resolve within a few hours. If you’re among those affected, you can monitor the EA Help page or Downdetector for live status updates.
We’ll update this post as soon as an official announcement or patch note is released. For now, if you’re able to log in successfully, share your platform and region in the comments — it may help other players track which regions are coming back online first.
Other Battlefield 6 Updates
Meanwhile, Battlefield players have also noticed ongoing issues with controller deadzone settings after the latest update. EA has acknowledged the problem and is reportedly working on a fix. In lighter news, the fan-favorite Gold Dog Tags challenge has returned for a limited time — giving players a reason to jump back in once servers stabilize.
