Battlefield 6 First Open Beta Sees Players Lining Up in Thousands Ahead of Early Access
The Battlefield is calling, and legions are answering. After four years of waiting, the hunger for a new installment is palpable. Even before the first shot of the Battlefield 6 beta has been fired, a staggering 20,000+ soldiers have already stormed Steam’s gates, boots on the ground, ready to deploy. The wait is almost over. The battle is about to begin.
Battlefield 6 Open Beta Begins August 7
Battlefield 6’s beta is already drawing blood on Steam! Before the official launch, SteamDB charts reveal a staggering peak of 24,879 concurrent players diving into the early access trenches. The real war begins Thursday, August 7 at 8:00 UTC (1 am PT or 1:30 pm IST), when the floodgates open and thousands more soldiers storm the battlefield. And remember, this is just the Steam vanguard; expect an earth-shattering influx of PS5 and Xbox Series S/X recruits when they join the fight!
Battlefield 6’s open beta is so hot, it’s melting servers! One eager player braved the virtual queue, only to be greeted by a server slammed shut and a wait time longer than a trip to Omaha Beach. A screenshot posted to Reddit shows the poor soul staring down the barrel of a 48,880-person queue.
Get Ready to Deploy: The Battlefield 6 Open Beta is HERE!
The wait is over, soldiers! Pre-loading for the Battlefield 6 open beta went live this Monday on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and EA App), PS5, and Xbox Series S/X.
Elite operatives who enlisted in Battlefield Labs before July 31st, or those subscribed to EA Play Pro, get a head start with early access.
For the rest of the squad, the first taste of Battlefield 6’s explosive action arrives August 9th and concludes August 10th. Don’t worry if you miss it! A second open beta weekend kicks off next week, running from August 14th to August 17th. Lock and load!
Get ready to storm the battlefield! EA just dropped a bombshell of intel on the Battlefield 6 open beta, revealing the maps, modes, and challenges awaiting players before the full game deploys. Prepare for all-out war across three diverse battlegrounds: the urban chaos of Siege of Cairo, the strategic heights of Liberation Peak, and the intense firefights of the Iberian Offensive. But that’s not all – five adrenaline-pumping multiplayer modes are set to test your skills: the classic Conquest, the close-quarters combat of Closed Weapons Breakthrough, the strategic maneuvering of Breakthrough, the fast-paced action of Domination, and the intense struggle for supremacy in King of the Hill. The beta is your chance to experience the future of Battlefield – are you ready to answer the call?
Get ready for round two! The open beta returns, packing a punch with an additional map and two brand-new modes to dominate beyond what you experienced last weekend.
Lock and load, soldiers! Battlefield 6 drops October 10th on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, ending a four-year drought for franchise fans. Prepare for all-out war and secure your deployment – pre-orders are live across supported platforms.
