Battlefield Studios Europe VP and GM Rebecka Coutaz in an interview with GamesIndustry said the team are always looking at the competition, however, they are never chasing a competitor.
“Of course we’re always looking into the competitive landscape,” Coutaz said. “We are never chasing a competitor. That’s not the way that we create games. We wouldn’t make good games if we were chasing our competitors.
“We are making games because we believe in what we’re doing, because we’re listening to our players and what they want to do. Is competition good? Yes. It pushes us. It pushes us to take more risk, to be creative, to innovate, but we never chase any competition.
“The most important thing for us is the feedback from our players that they are engaged, that they are having fun and that they want more.”
The most recent entry in the Battlefield series, Battlefield 6, released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in October 2025.
Coutaz stated that “Battlefield 6 was a comeback. It’s a nice story to tell.”
Today we have a lot of players playing Battlefield,” she said. “We revealed our roadmap for the upcoming seasons back in April. We talked about Naval Warfare on season four. And you can imagine that because our players are having fun on the battlefield, that we will continue to provide content to our players. Battlefield is a platform. It’s going to be there. And we are continuing.”
She added, “We are listening to our players… and we are continuously learning. We’re preparing ourselves, we have to continue to be better. We have to continue to incorporate technology and new ideas and creativity so that we can continue to provide the best experience ever. That doesn’t change.”
