Battlefield 6 Beta: How to Get Early Access and Open Beta Times

EA’s DICE studio has blown the lid off the multiplayer for its upcoming military shooter Battlefield 6, and players will soon get to join the fray themselves. A Battlefield 6 public beta is coming on two consecutive weekends starting Aug. 9 — and if you’re lucky enough to get in Early Access, to play starting Aug. 7 — and here’s how to join.

The Battlefield 6 open betas will be the first chances for players to get to experience the game’s multiplayer before its full release Oct. 10. The first open beta weekend will start at 1 a.m. PT Aug. 9 through Aug. 10 and the second will kick off at 1 a.m. PT Aug. 14 and run through Aug. 16. Fans can visit Battlefield’s website to get info for the open beta, which just requires linking your EA account to your platform account. 

Note that publisher EA hasn’t provided a specific sign-up for the beta just yet, but it will be open to all players. We’ll update this post if or when EA provides specific instructions for signing u,p but we do know the open beta can be pre-downloaded on respective platforms starting Aug. 4. 

The beta will be playable on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Studio DICE didn’t detail which modes, weapons and other options will be playable in the open beta, but it did confirm that “Closed Weapons” modes that restrict certain guns to certain classes will be available to try out. If the preview is anything to go by, players will be able to load up a handful of multiplayer modes, like Conquest, Domination and Breakthrough, on maps like Siege of Cairo, Empire State and Liberation Peak.

How to get Battlefield 6 open beta early access

There is one way to secure your spot in the open beta a couple days early on Aug. 7: Watch your favorite streamer playing Battlefield 6 today (July 31), as explained in an official post on X. You can watch on the official Battlefield Twitch or on a participating creator’s channel, but if you didn’t watch already, the beta key event ended at 4:30 p.m. PT. While that window to get early access has already closed, it’s possible that DICE opens up another opportunity to get early access in the days before it starts — in which case, we’ll note it here.  

Here were the steps to get early access using Twitch streams — if DICE releases more keys this way, here’s how to earn early access beta keys:

  1. Sign in to your Twitch account.
  2. Make sure you have drops enabled and the Battlefield 6 Early Access Beta Key Drops selected from among the drops campaigns list.
  3. Watch a single streamer participating in the Battlefield 6 Early Access Beta Key Drops for 60 minutes — if you’re having trouble finding one, search for “Battlefield 6” and look for streams that include “Beta Key Drops” or often just “Drops” in their titles.
  4. Once earned, find your beta key access in your Drops Inventory.
  5. Redeem this beta key access code on Battlefield 6’s code redemption website. 

Players who have participated in Battlefield Labs, studio DICE’s pre-release feedback program for the game, will be granted early access to play the beta starting Aug. 7.

Battlefield 6 open beta dates

  • Aug. 7-8: Early access, starting at 1 a.m. PT on Aug. 7
  • Aug. 9-10: First open beta weekend available to all, starting at 1 a.m. PT on Aug. 9 and closing Aug. 11 at 1 a.m. PT.
  • Aug. 14-16: Second open beta weekend available to all, starting at 1 a.m. PT on Aug. 14 and closing Aug. 17 at 1 a.m. PT.

PC specific notice for Battlefield 6 beta

A special note if you haven’t played a Battlefield game on PC recently: Studio DICE and EA recently started requiring players to set their computers to Secure Boot when playing Battlefield games to combat cheaters, and Battlefield 6 is no different. To even play the open beta, you’ll need to delve into your BIOS and switch your PC to Secure Boot — check EA’s guide for help.
