This week, DICE and EA released a new mega release battlefield The update along with patch notes revealed and detailed everything the update did on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, or so we thought. It turns out that in addition to adding dangerous flashes to the game, the game has made dozens of secret changes not mentioned in the patch notes. DICE and EA did not mention these changes, but they were collected in one place in one day reddit. And there are a lot of them, and some of them are notable, so it’s not clear why they aren’t in the patch notes.
According to developer verfieid who commented on a Reddit post sharing the changes, some were made a while ago but are only released now, which may explain why they are missing from the patch notes.
“Wonderful listing, also gave me a refresher! Some of this stuff was already fixed some time ago on our side, but it hasn’t hit any patches until today due to various reasons maybe a bit difficult to explain here,” said the developer. “It’s hard to explain why there are changes sometimes we don’t take note of. We are happy to see that the changes are positive.”
