How to Access the Battlefield 6 Open Beta: All Early Access and Open Play Options Explained

To gain access to the Battlefield 6 open beta, you have several options depending on whether you want early access or are satisfied with standard open participation. The beta is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and runs over two weekends in August 2025.

How to Get Early Access to Battlefield 6 Open Beta:

1. Battlefield Labs Registration (No Longer Available):
   • If you registered for Battlefield Labs before July 31, 2025, you automatically receive early beta access, regardless of acceptance status.
2. Twitch Drops from Reveal Event (No Longer Available):
   • Watching select Battlefield 6 streamers for at least 30–60 minutes during the July 31 multiplayer reveal awarded a beta code via Twitch Drops, which could then be redeemed for early entry.
3. EA Play Pro Subscription (Available Now):
   • Active EA Play Pro members get early access. Log into the EA app (or Steam, if using that platform) with your EA Play Pro-linked account and participate in the beta starting August 7, 2025, at 1am PT (8:00 UTC).
4. Twitch Streams on August 7 (Last-Minute Early Access):
   • By watching any eligible Battlefield 6 open beta Twitch stream for at least 30 minutes on August 7, and with your Twitch and EA accounts properly linked, you can still earn early access before the beta opens to everyone. Make sure this is completed before general access begins.

General Open Beta Access (No Early Requirements):

• You can freely join the open beta starting August 9, 2025, at 1am PT (8:00 UTC) by downloading the Battlefield 6 Open Beta client from your platform’s digital store (Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, or Xbox Store). No code, pre-order, or sign-up required.
• The open beta is available again for a second weekend starting August 14, 2025, at the same time, running through August 17.

Preloading the Beta:

• Beta preloads opened August 4, 2025, so you should download and install the beta in advance to ensure you’re ready to play as soon as access begins.

Additional Notes:

• On PC, Secure Boot must be enabled in your BIOS to play, as an anti-cheating measure.
• The beta includes classic modes like Conquest and Squad Deathmatch and will be open to all players on the supported current-generation platforms.

Summary Table:

If you are interested in early access, ensure you have completed one of the relevant steps; otherwise, you can freely join during the open beta periods by downloading the game client on your preferred platform.
