Battlefield 6 has seen a significant update with the launch of version 1.1.3.0 as part of the Winter Offensive season finale. This update has notably altered the much-debated Wicked Grin skin, which has been a point of contention among players due to its bright and cartoony aesthetic. Following community feedback, the skin's colors have been toned down dramatically, trading vibrant hues for muted tones, and its original mask design has been completely removed. Players have expressed satisfaction with these changes, viewing them as a win for the community in their push for more realistic in-game aesthetics. This update also included various gameplay improvements and the introduction of new content such as snowy terrain and a melee weapon.

The Wicked Grin skin underwent significant changes, including a reduction in bright colors replaced with muted tones and the removal of its distinctive toothy smile. Players have welcomed these alterations, viewing them as a response to their concerns about the game's visual direction.

Battlefield 6, released on October 10, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, has been the subject of ongoing discussions about its aesthetic choices. Following its launch, players have been vocal about their desire for a more grounded design, pushing back against skins that resemble those found in titles like Fortnite and Call of Duty. Development studio, Battlefield Studios, is working to balance community feedback with their vision for the game.
