The Battlefield 6 beta? Yeah, it’s just around the corner. I mean, like, days away. October 10th is when it drops officially, but before that comes a bit of a teaser. In August—you know, the perfect month to mess up your summer plans—they’re doing a beta thing over a couple of weekends. Two weekends, to be exact. That’s the plan, I think.
So what’s the deal? You’ll get to mess around with multiplayer—different maps, different game modes. Kind of like a buffet, but of chaos and explosions. Naturally, there’re exclusive goodies to snag for the full game, like skins for your soldiers and weapon packs. The first weekend? Three maps and five modes. The second weekend? They’re throwing in an extra map and three more game modes. And yes, crossplay is an option, if you’re into that.
Anyway, let’s figure out how to dive in.
So you’re wondering, “How do I get in on this Battlefield 6 beta madness?” Well, there’s a couple of open beta weekends anyone can jump into. First one’s Saturday, August 9th. Then, Thursday, August 14th. Feel free to preload it on any platform—assuming you remember to. But here’s the catch: early access is a thing, and you might get in on it by August 7th. Early access if you play your cards right, like signing up for Battlefield Labs or watching the right Twitch channels before the deadline. It’s like a weird treasure hunt, I guess.
And nope, preordering won’t magically get you in early. Just putting that out there since it was a bit of a surprise to me too. August 7th-8th is your early window if you’ve got that golden key, and after that, open season for everyone.
As for the exact time you can sneak in early on August 7th? Well, if you’re in the know, you can pop in at 4 a.m. EDT. But really, who’s awake at that hour? Left coast’s 1 a.m. PDT, just in case you’re one of those night owls or, you know, just can’t sleep.
Now, what about that first beta weekend? You’ve got Conquest, Breakthrough, and some other modes that sound fancy. The maps sound pretty epic—like the “Siege of Cairo.” First weekend kicks off Saturday, August 9th at, again, 4 a.m. EDT. Who sets these times? I’m already lost by 2 a.m.
Then, there’s weekend number two. It’s on from Thursday, August 14th. Bring in more maps and… extra modes like Squad Deathmatch. Bet you didn’t see that coming.
So, that’s the hustle. Get in, get your beta time, grab those exclusive rewards, and maybe get used to the chaos—because that’s what it’s all about, right? Battlefield 6, folks. It’s gonna be wild, or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.
