I have good news for Battlefield 6 players concerned about the modest sizes of the open beta maps — a new leak suggests at least two more of the as-yet unreleased maps will be bigger than any we’ve played so far.
Based on recent datamines, Battlefield Wire shared an image, below, showing the purported size of two maps — Eastwood and Mirak Valley — in relation to the beta map Siege of Cairo. And you don’t have to get out a measuring tape and ruler to see that they’re considerably bigger (albeit still a little on the snug side for some).
Here are the borders of two of the larger maps coming to Battlefield 6 👀
The largest being ‘Mirak Valley’

MP1st has also shared renderings that an anonymous poster has uploaded to Imgur. They give us a closer look at Mirak Valley — a map located in Tajikistan with mountains and a river slicing through the middle — and Californian map Eastwood, which is supposedly coming post-launch, but likely sometime in Season 1. Expect to see a golf course, villas, and bonus vehicles like a boat and a golf cart. You can check out all the renderings for Eastwood here, and Mirak here.
This should be excellent news for players unimpressed by Battlefield 6’s beta map offerings thus far, and whilst we can only take datamined rumors as precisely that — rumors — it bolsters DICE’s claim that “large maps exist, and the tempo scales accordingly, you’ll be able to see soon enough!”
Last week, EA issued a statement acknowledging the cheating occurring in Battlefield 6, and highlighting its efforts to combat it on top of its requirement for players to enable Secure Boot in their BIOS. In the post, the publisher said its existing tech had already prevented 330,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls. EA said it would continue to evolve its efforts to combat cheating, and encouraged users to continue reporting issues.
DICE made changes to Rush mode after a negative response from fans, but generally the Battlefield 6 open beta has gone down well, with huge concurrent figures on Steam. It suggests a massive launch for the game when it comes out in October.
