Private games coming soon to Battlefield V

In the latest Battlefield V community broadcast it was detailed that the team at Dice would be bringing private games to Battlefield V.

The update containing private games will be coming after this summer, and will re-brand what is now called RSP into Private Games.

When you create a server you’ll be able to manage options using a basic set of tools provided by Dice, and your server will remain online while any players are playing on it. This means that despite being the server owner you’ll be able to come and go from your server as you please given that others remain on it.

The first phase of custom games contains what Dice calls “must-haves” when it comes to administration tools.
