Battlefield 6 Adds Proximity Chat to Battle Royale on September 15

DICE confirmed in a September 2 community update that Battlefield 6's Season 4 Phase 3, called Tidal Strike, brings proximity chat to the battle royale mode RedSec on September 15. Voices are positioned directionally, blocked by walls, changed indoors, and muffled inside vehicles. It rolls out first through Battlefield Labs for testing, with mute and report controls and a channel toggle below the Commo Rose. Multiplayer gets the feature later.
