Battlefield 6 - EA's New Winter Event Gets A Cold Shoulder

The new Winter Event in Battlefield 6 arrived with a rough start, from menu issues on PS5, Xbox, and PC to reports of stuttering and UI bugs.
Once inside the mode, though, the freeze mechanic brought a fresh layer of environmental pressure to Empire State, Gauntlet, and Domination.
In this video, I break down my full experience with the event: the good, the bad, the workarounds players found, and why I think the core mechanic is better than some give it credit for.

I also cover:
- The menu bug and temporary workarounds
- Console reports (PS5/Xbox Custom Search workaround)
- PC fixes (Steam offline trick, full restart method)
- How the freeze mechanic affects movement, visibility, and health
- Why fire barrels matter more than med bags
- My thoughts on challenges and map limitations
- What I’d like to see next season

If you played the Winter Event, drop your thoughts in the comments.
