Battlefield 6 Portal Community Update: Tackling XP Farming and Bot Farming Servers
In a recent community update, the Battlefield 6 development team addressed significant issues caused by bot farming servers within Battlefield 6 Portal. These servers were responsible for a global outage, making it impossible for gamers to host their own servers. To resolve this, the BF development team implemented changes to both the Portal experiences and the game’s backend matchmaking system.
This article dives into the community update focused on combating XP farming servers in Battlefield 6 Portal and highlights the key changes made to improve the overall experience.
Bot Backfill Disabled in Verified Battlefield 6 Portal Experiences
Moving forward, Bot Backfill is now disabled in verified game modes within Battlefield 6 Portal. This change ensures that players engaged in qualified experiences can receive full XP rewards and progress as intended. Gamers interested in exploring these custom formats no longer need to worry about being matched with bots during gameplay.
To apply this change to verified experiences, qualifying creators are required to unpublish their game modes, disable the Bot Backfill setting, and then republish them. Additionally, players may need to restart their hosted servers—both normal and persistent—to properly implement these ongoing live changes.
Reduced XP Rewards for Battlefield 6 Portal Custom Experiences
Since the crackdown on XP farming servers began, there’s been a noticeable decline in their numbers. The development team is actively working on ways to safely reintroduce bots in the future without compromising the integrity of verified formats.
Development Team Acknowledges the Challenges
The Battlefield 6 developers recognize that custom experiences populated with bots were originally created to help players overcome some of the tougher challenges that standard matchmaking couldn’t address. They continue to work toward balancing these needs while maintaining fair progression systems.

BF6 Portal experiences tagged with “BattlefieldOfficial” or “BFPortalOfficial” are developed and maintained by the in-house Battlefield team.
