Following our backend update on September 30, we want to check in, address some of the friction you experienced over the past week, and share what we’re doing to make your match-to-match experience smoother.

TL;DR

• Healthier Matches: Matchmaking stability has returned to normal across all platforms and playlists.
• Staying Together: More of you are successfully rolling into the next round with your squads and friendly rivals.
• Fewer Bot Lobbies: We deployed a backend timer adjustment today that gives real players more time to fill lobbies before AI backfill kicks in.

Why We Made the Change Our core goal has been to keep more players together from one match to the next, which means great lobbies stay together. When you find a squad that clicks or an opposing team that gives you a hard-fought match, you shouldn’t have to get completely reshuffled every single round.

On September 30, we introduced backend improvements aimed at keeping as many players together as possible from match to match, while still respecting your individual playlist and map preferences.

What Happened & What We Heard While the system succeeded in keeping more groups together across rounds, we know it also introduced frustrating side effects:

• An unexpected surge in bot-filled matches.
• Lobbies stalling out or taking too long to populate.

Jumping into a match only to find half the server populated by AI isn't the experience any of us want. Over the past several days, our team rolled out hotfixes and live tweaks to stabilize queue performance, and metrics have steadily returned to healthy baselines. Today’s Fix: Smarter Countdown Timers To resolve the bot backfill issue without sacrificing queue speed, we rolled out an additional backend update today:

• Extended Pre-Round Countdown for Conquest and Escalation: Once a lobby hits the minimum player threshold to start, the countdown timer now gives a brief additional window for incoming players to filter in.
• What This Means for You: Rounds will start with fuller, real-player lobbies, reducing the chance that AI bots fill empty slots before the match kicks off. All of this comes with virtually no noticeable increase to your overall queue times.

Looking Ahead Matchmaking remains an ongoing balance between match quality, lobby continuity, and quick queue times. We are continuing to monitor server health, fill rates, and—most importantly—your feedback as these adjustments settle in. Jump in, play a few rounds, and let us know how your matches feel. Thank you for sticking with us, sharing your clips and reports, and helping us build a better game every day.

Rapid Royale comes to Battlefield #REDSEC with Season 5 on Oct. 13.

Drop into Las Vegas and fight across multiple maps with fewer players, smaller play spaces, faster-moving circles, and shorter matches. Loot weapons, get kills, and earn redeploys while high-value airdrops bring some of the best loot in the game.

Stay ahead of the fastest Ring of Fire and keep moving.

Less downtime. More fights. Faster matches. https://youtu.be/KesnHWwCpPU

We've resolved the issue with Battle Royale Duos, and matchmaking is back online across all platforms. You may need to restart your game or re-queue to jump back in.

Thank you for your patience while we resolved this.

We have deployed a backend fix to resolve the Casual Breakthrough matchmaking problem. It might take a while before the update is deployed to all servers, so you might still return to the main menu from time to time after searching for a game. Requeuing should now get you into a game more quickly. Thanks for your patience.
