Battlefield 6 Beta: Get Ready to Deploy!

Open Beta Dates Announced for Highly Anticipated Shooter

Gamers eager to jump into the fray of the upcoming Battlefield 6 will have their chance very soon, with the open beta set to launch next weekend. Early access opportunities are also available for dedicated fans and those who follow popular content creators.

Phase One: Early Access Begins August 7

Players who have registered for Battlefield Labs, are EA Play Pro members, or secured early access via a content creator’s reveal stream can report for duty starting August 7 at 10:00 AM. This initial wave offers a prime opportunity to experience the battlefield before the wider public.

Open Beta Waves for All Players

For the rest of the world, the official open beta commences on August 9 at 10:00 AM. No special codes are required for this second wave; simply download the Battlefield 6 Open Beta. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, EGS, or the EA App. Ensure your EA account is linked to your chosen platform to streamline the process.

Extended Playtime and Second Weekend Access

If the initial beta weekend doesn’t fit your schedule, don’t worry. The open beta will extend into a second weekend, allowing participation until August 17. This provides ample time for players to form squads and share their initial impressions of the game. The Battlefield franchise has a history of massive player counts, with Battlefield 2042 reporting over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam at its peak shortly after its release (Steam Charts).

This upcoming beta is a crucial step in the development process, allowing developers to gather feedback and refine the experience before the full launch.
