Hey everyone—guess what? Battlefield 6 beta is almost here, rocking its way in for an October 10 release. It’s like, right around the corner. Can you even wait?
So, in August, Battlefield’s tossing two beta weekends at us. That means you get to mess around with multiplayer stuff on some killer maps and, oh, snag those snazzy rewards. Soldier skins, weapon packages—stuff that sticks with you when the real deal drops. Weekend one gives you three maps and five modes. By weekend two, there’s an extra map and three more modes to dive into. Oh, and crossplay? Optional. Maybe I’ll try it, maybe I won’t. Decisions, decisions.
Alright, so you want in on this Battlefield 6 beta action? Here’s how.
Anyway—oops, lost my train of thought—there are two beta weekends open to all. Mark your calendar: Saturday, Aug. 9 and Thursday, Aug. 14. But hold up! You can preload the beta now. Seriously. Like, right now on whatever platform you fancy.
But wait, there’s early access too. If you jumped through a few hoops before July 31, like signing up for Battlefield Labs or watching some Twitch streams, you might get in on Thursday, Aug. 7. Missed it? Bummer. But hey, not all is lost. There are ways to snag those early access keys. Preordering the game though? Nope, that won’t cut it.
Just needing early access keys for Aug. 7-8, then it opens up to everyone for both weekends. Sound good?
Here’s when you can jump into the early access, if you’re one of the lucky few:
– 1 a.m. PDT on the west coast of North America
– 4 a.m. EDT for the east coast—yawn!
– 5 a.m. BRT for Brazil
– 9 a.m. BST if you’re in the UK
– 10 a.m. CEST for folks in western Europe
– 5 p.m. JST for Japan
– 6 p.m. AEST on Australia’s east coast
This early deal runs until Aug. 9 and bleeds right into that first beta weekend.
So when does the first weekend kick off? Aug. 9 at 4 a.m. EDT. Brace yourself:
– 1 a.m. PDT out west
– 4 a.m. EDT for all you early risers in the east
– 5 a.m. BRT in Brazil
– 9 a.m. BST for the UK peeps
– 10 a.m. CEST in western Europe
– 5 p.m. JST in Japan
– 6 p.m. AEST down in Australia
Wraps up on Monday, Aug. 11 at 4 a.m. EDT. Sleep? Who needs it.
Then, the second weekend kicks off on Thursday, Aug. 14 at 4 a.m. EDT:
– 1 a.m. PDT for that west coast life
– 4 a.m. EDT if you’re east
– 5 a.m. BRT for Brazil
– 9 a.m. BST if you’re in Britain
– 10 a.m. CEST for western Europe
– 5 p.m. JST over in Japan
– 6 p.m. AEST in Australia
Goes until Sunday, Aug. 17 at 4 a.m. EDT.
Maps you’re playing? First weekend’s got Iberian Offensive, Liberation Peak, Siege of Cairo. Then the second weekend throws in Empire State and a couple more modes like Rush and Squad Deathmatch. It’s a buffet of Battlefield goodness.
Alright, that’s the lowdown. Grab your gear, load up, and get ready to dive into Battlefield 6’s beta madness. See you on the battlefield! Or maybe not—depends if I’m any good.
