While we just got a new patch for Battlefield 5 last week that was for technical fixes, it seems it didn’t do enough as DICE is scheduling the Battlefield 5 next update to hit this week assuming it passes certification!
This was revealed by the studio over on Reddit, where this week’s planned Battlefield 5 announcements and events were listed. DICE’s plans are for the Battlefield 5 next update patch notes to be released Wednesday, with the actual patch rolled out on Thursday — again, this is with the assumption that certification will be granted.

For those not familiar with what “certification” means in this context, studios need to submit patches and game updates to Sony and Microsoft, and the hardware makers must certify first that they are safe to be rolled out and won’t cause harm to the console, etc.
