Steam reportedly refunds Battlefield 6 player with 470 hours logged after EA quietly pulled Rush mode from Quickplay

A Battlefield 6 player has reportedly secured a full refund from Steam after the removal of the popular Rush mode from Quickplay. Reddit user ExplorEverythingOnce claimed that Valve refunded the full $109.24 (around £81) that they paid for the game's Phantom Edition, despite having logged 470 hours – more than 230 times Steam's usual cutoff.

The removal of Rush mode from Quickplay occurred earlier this week with patch 1.4.1.5, as part of a larger set of seemingly minor fixes. The player noted that Rush has been a series staple since Bad Company in 2008 and expressed disappointment at the sudden removal without any prior notification. Steaming Support was apparently persuaded by the player's extensive playtime and the official mode list provided by Battlefield and EA, resulting in the full refund for the launch-day purchase.

As of now, Rush is still listed among Battlefield 6's large-scale modes on EA's website, but it remains to be seen whether Steam will extend the same treatment to other refund requests involving the removal of multiple game modes.
