Battlefield 6 Season 5 Sparks Backlash Over Season Pass Cosmetics
Fans accuse Battlefield 6's Siege of Vegas season pass cosmetics of being AI-generated, pointing to a patch that misspells "security."
Battlefield 6 Season 5, titled "Siege of Vegas," was released earlier this week, and it has drawn heavy criticism from players over the cosmetics included in its season pass, according to Kotaku. The season adds a new map called Area 51.
Fans on the Battlefield 6 subreddit have accused the season pass cosmetics of being AI-generated and criticized them heavily. The items drawing attention include a character with multiple extra magazines on their vest, one with five holstered pistols, and a security patch that misspells "security" as "Secuty."
The criticized cosmetics were sold as part of the season pass. EA publishes Battlefield 6, which is developed by BF Studios.
EA's Battlefield 6 previously shipped seemingly AI-generated cosmetics just months after launch, and the company did not patch them out until months after that. Some Battlefield developers were laid off earlier this year.
