Battlefield 6 is on the brink of launch and brings you various modes to play. What makes them special and which ones you can also play in the beta, you will find out here.
What modes are available? In Battlefield 6, there are 8 different modes you can dive into. Two additional modes that don’t directly count as such but still belong, we’ve also listed for you. So in Battlefield 6, there are the following modes:
- Conquest
- Breakthrough
- Domination
- Squad Deathmatch
- Team Deathmatch
- Assault
- King of the Hill
- Escalation
- Additional: Battle Royale
- Additional: Battlefield Portal
What exactly awaits you in the modes, we will show you.
Conquest
- Player count: 64 (32 vs. 32)
- Map size: Large
- Vehicles: Yes
The most well-known mode of the series. Here, two teams of 32 players each fight on huge maps for control over several areas through flags. The aim is to capture and hold as many areas as possible to reduce the points of the opposing team. Whoever runs out of points loses.
Breakthrough
- Player count: 48 (24 vs. 24)
- Map size: Large
- Vehicles: Yes
Here, defenders fight against attackers. The attackers try to capture all sectors of the map while the defenders do everything they can to prevent them and hold their position.
Assault
- Player count: 24 (12 vs. 12)
- Map size: Large
- Vehicles: No
A tactical mode where the attacking team must achieve specific mission objectives while the defenders must stop them. If the attackers successfully complete a mission, the battlefield shifts and moves forward.
Escalation
- Player count: Unknown
- Map size: Large
- Vehicles: Unknown
Escalation is a new mode introduced with Battlefield 6. Teams fight for control points, the number of which decreases as the game progresses. The map also shrinks, leading to a chaotic and decisive final battle.
Team Deathmatch
- Player count: Unknown
- Map size: Small
- Vehicles: Unknown
This mode takes place on smaller maps than the previous four. You battle in 2 teams against each other to be the first group to reach a set number of kills.
Squad Deathmatch
- Player count: Unknown
- Map size: Small
- Vehicles: Unknown
This mode also takes place on smaller maps. Instead of fighting in 2 large teams, you will battle here in smaller squads consisting of 4 players against each other. The game ends when a squad reaches the set number of kills.
Domination
- Player count: 16 (8 vs. 8)
- Map size: Small
- Vehicles: No
Similar to Conquest, only on smaller map sections and with fewer capture points. You play for domination over different areas that you capture via flags. The aim is to capture and hold as many areas as possible to reduce the points of the opposing team. Whoever runs out of points loses.
King of the Hill
- Player count: 16 (8 vs. 8)
- Map size: Small
- Vehicles: No
The name already hints at it: You fight in two teams for a single control point. This all takes place on a relatively small map.
Additional: Battle Royale
- Player count: Up to 100
So far, not much is known about this mode, except that it will also exist and be playable separately from Battlefield 6. It is expected that this mode will be based on the Firestorm mode from Battlefield V.

Additional: Battlefield Portal
Battlefield Portal is technically not a mode, but a tool for players to create their own modes and rules. It allows players to use and combine elements from previous titles in the Battlefield series. Battlefield Portal will also be a part of Battlefield 6.
In addition to the modes, maps also play a significant role. MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller has already had a look at them and is confident that they will ensure you can spend countless hours in the shooter again: After 4 hours in Battlefield 6, I say the maps will make you want to invest hundreds of hours in the shooter
