A YouTuber stripped Battlefield 6 of its color filters, and fans loved the result so much that Electronic Arts was forced to comment. Thousands of players are now debating whether Battlefield Studios’ shooter should allow the option to disable filters.

Video games, even when striving for realism, often include filters, effects, and stylistic adjustments to match the creators’ vision or cinematic language. Few expected, however, that Battlefield 6 might look even better without its color filters. A recent video demonstrated how EA’s shooter appears without these visual add-ons, and fans were blown away, with many wishing the game could be experienced that way. The reaction was so strong that Battlefield Studios stepped in to explain the purpose of these artistic choices.

The video, uploaded on August 23 by the Vic’s Corner channel, showed how the game’s color grading dramatically shifts the look of each map. Whereas earlier entries like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 were known for bluish and reddish tones, Battlefield 6 layers everything from intense blues to warm sepia. In this context, the YouTuber removed the filters, letting players compare the “raw” visuals with the graded ones and sparking an energetic debate over which looked better.

The response was swift. On Reddit, some players argued that the game’s true beauty is hidden beneath the filters, while others preferred the atmospheric, filtered style. A number of comments admitted they hadn’t even noticed the filters before, but agreed that whichever version you prefer, Battlefield 6 is still visually impressive.

Community manager Kevin Johnson, better known as T0talFPS, joined the discussion to stress that these filters aren’t just superficial effects like those you’d see on Instagram. Instead, each map has been graded to reflect the specific atmosphere of its setting, including the different biomes and climates represented in the game.

He added that the studio continues to refine visuals based on player feedback gathered during Battlefield Labs and beta testing. Johnson closed by assuring players that feedback is being taken seriously and that the team will keep polishing both the aesthetics and other elements of the game ahead of release.
