What to know

  • Player-created content must be enabled to access custom maps and community experiences in Battlefield 6’s Portal mode.​
  • You can adjust this in the system settings under "show player created content".​​
  • The base multiplayer and campaign modes do not require player content to be enabled.​
  • Disabling this will hide custom game options and restrict Portal access.​

Battlefield 6 embraces user-created experiences more than ever with its revamped Portal mode, allowing the community to build, share, and remix custom games and maps. Enabling player-created content opens up a world of curated experiences and makes Battlefield 6 as much a platform as a traditional shooter.​

Battlefield 6 Requires Player Created Content Enabled: How to Fix

Well, here's how to to enable player created content settings to fix this issue.

If you want to access the full community-driven experience, you’ll need to activate this feature. Here’s a practical, step-by-step guide:

Step 1

Open Battlefield 6 and navigate to the main menu. Select the "Settings" option from the top menu bar.​

Step 2

In the settings menu, go to the "System" tab.​ Scroll down to find the "Show player created content" option.​

Step 3

Toggle the option ON to enable community maps, custom games, and other user-generated content. If you only want official experiences and to avoid user creations, toggle the option OFF.​

Custom games and the Portal experience

When enabled, the Portal lets you:

  • Browse community-made maps and game modes.​
  • Join custom servers with unique rule sets, from novel fun variants to serious clan matches.​
  • Build your own experiences using the Portal’s powerful editor, then share them with other players.​

Disabling player-created content restricts you to official multiplayer playlists and campaign missions, removing access to the breadth of what the Battlefield community offers.​

Why not make it mandatory for everyone?

This toggle exists to give players control—some may prefer to only see official EA content, especially if they want curated, balanced experiences or are playing with children. It also helps avoid community maps that may not meet everyone’s standards for content, performance, or appropriateness.​​
