How to Pull Out Your Knife in Battlefield 6 (BF6)

Monitoring **FPS in Battlefield 6** helps gauge game performance and identify frame rate drops during gameplay. While the feature is native to the game, it’s tucked away under a non-intuitive menu name, making it easy to overlook.

You can activate the FPS counter either through the **Graphics settings** or via a **console command** on PC. Once enabled, it provides real-time performance feedback while playing.

How to Enable FPS Display via In-Game Settings

  1. Navigate to **Settings** from the main menu’s top bar.

  2. Select the **Graphics** tab.

  3. Scroll to the **Advanced** section and click **Modify**.

  4. Locate the **Performance Overlay** option.

  5. Toggle between **Simple** (FPS only) or **Extra** (includes CPU/GPU stats).

Using Console Commands for FPS Display (PC-Only)

  1. Open **Settings** and access the **System** tab.

  2. Under **Setup**, enable the **Command Console**.

  3. Return to the main screen and press **~** to open the console.

  4. Enter PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1 and press **Enter** to activate the counter.

  5. To disable, use PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0.

Fixing FPS Counter Visibility Issues

If the counter doesn’t appear, try restarting the game. Persistent issues may indicate a temporary bug—report these to DICE through official channels.
