Earlier this month, EA and DICE confirmed that Battlefield 6 will be having an Open Beta, but did not elaborate on the post with any sort of details. Thanks to Insider-Gaming's report, we now have the dates.
According to the website's unnamed sources, EA will be hosting two beta sessions during the month of August, both a Closed Beta and an Open Beta. The CLosed Beta will begin on Thursday, August 7th and run until Friday, August 8th.
Those who pre-order Battlefield 6 will reportedly receive a Closed Beta code. Otherwise, you can try to obtain one through Twitch drops by watching content creators who stream footage of the game during the multiplayer reveal.
It's believed that this Closed Beta weekend will also have an "Open Beta" phase that runs from August 9th through August 10th.
In addition to this first weekend, a second Beta weekend will be held from August 14th through August 17th. This will be a full-fledged Open Beta, meaning anyone should be able to play.
