Previously, securing an early spot in the Battlefield 6 beta required specific actions, such as enrolling in Battlefield Labs by a late July deadline, tuning into special reveal broadcasts, or subscribing to EA Play Pro. However, EA has now simplified the process, offering a more straightforward route for eager players. The latest announcement allows individuals to gain 48-hour pre-release access to the beta by simply watching 30 minutes of any content creator streaming Battlefield 6 on Twitch. This user-friendly approach aims to democratize early entry, making it available to a wider spectrum of the gaming community.
Once players meet the new Twitch viewership criteria, they will receive a code for early access. EA has provided detailed instructions for redeeming these codes, emphasizing the need to log into an EA account and link it to the desired gaming platform. For PC gamers, Steam appears to be the most convenient option, as it notably bypasses the requirement of running the EA App, streamlining the launch experience. This detail is a welcome relief for many who prefer a direct game launch without additional platform dependencies.
The highly anticipated Battlefield 6 beta is scheduled across several dates, offering both early access and open play periods. The exclusive early access period kicks off on August 7th and runs through August 8th. Following this, the beta will open its doors to all players from August 9th to August 10th, and again from August 14th to August 17th. While specific start times for these periods are yet to be announced, anticipation is building as the dates draw nearer, with many fans already idling in the game's main menu in eager expectation of the official launch.
