## Summary
EA and DICE have outlined the remaining content for Battlefield 6 Season 5, which runs through December 2026. Phase 1 launched October 20 with a Dead Space crossover event. Phase 2 arrives November 10 with the European Casino map, multiplayer leaderboards, and balance changes. Phase 3 follows on December 8 with the long-requested server browser, platoons supporting up to 100 players, and updates to Blackwell Fields and New Sobek City maps. Season 6 is planned for 2027.

## What's coming in Season 5 Phase 2 and 3
- **Server Browser**: Launches December 8 alongside existing matchmaking; features persistent lobbies that keep players together across matches
- **Custom Search and playlists**: May queue into official player-hosted servers listed in the browser, or move between servers based on map/mode preferences
- **Quickplay integration**: Server Browser will be the first tile in the Quickplay menu for Battlefield 6 owners
- **Platoons**: 100-player groups with custom names, squad tags, dedicated menu tab, combined stats tracking, and XP bonuses for squad play
- **Map refinements**: Blackwell Fields and New Sobek City updates add more HQ separation, boundary flanking space, terrain breaks, and rooftop access

## Why it matters
The server browser addresses a long-standing community request for Battlefield 6, which launched without this feature that was present in earlier titles. Persistent lobbies and platoons may improve player retention for the live-service title on Steam and EA App.
