When is the Battlefield 6 open beta?

There is no release date yet for the Battlefield 6 open beta, but online speculation suggests it will begin in early August.

How to get into the Battlefield 6 open beta

Given it's an open beta, presumably anyone will be able to access the Battlefield 6 test. If it works like other open betas, players will be able to find the download from their store of choice and go from there.

What's in the Battlefield 6 open beta?

The contents of the Battlefield 6 open beta have not been announced, but it's expected the beta will allow players to try out some of the maps and modes. Battlefield Studios also already confirmed that the beta will allow players to choose either an "open" or "closed" weapon setup.

"Why not both?" the developer said. In the open beta, players can choose playlists that have signature weapons locked to a specific class, or not. "More to come," the developer said.

Older titles, like the much-loved Battlefield 4, had class-locked weapons, but Battlefield 2042 introduced the ability for players in any class to choose whatever weapon they wanted. Some portion of the audience didn't enjoy this, while others embraced this expanded freedom. It appears DICE is trying to appease both audiences by giving them the option in Battlefield 6.

Battlefield 6 has a campaign mode, too, along with the rumored return of the Portal mode and a potential battle royale mode. The open beta, however, is only expected to offer up a multiplayer trial.

Does progress from the beta carry forward?

EA has not officially announced the specifics of the Battlefield 6 open beta, but history suggests that progress from the beta will not carry forward to the full game when it releases. This is how things normally work, and it's expected that will continue with Battlefield 6's open beta.

Battlefield 6 is the first new Battlefield game since 2021's tepidly received Battlefield 2042. A release date hasn't been announced, but speculation suggests it's launching on October 10. That's about a month before Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's rumored November 14 release date.
