Senior Producer David Sirland explained that Battlefield 6 continues using the Frostbite Engine rather than switching to Unreal Engine 5. Generic engines cannot support the advanced destruction mechanics that define the franchise. The development team customized Frostbite specifically for this latest entry while simultaneously designing the game around the engine's capabilities. Producer Alexia Christofi noted that studio engineers possess extensive Frostbite knowledge that enables efficient collaboration. Transitioning to different technology would require substantial time investment.
