That&#8217;s an extremely steep price if you&#8217;re only after those two extra days of BF6 beta, but if you&#8217;ve been meaning to play some other EA games anyway, then the option&#8217;s there.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-how-to-access-and-preload-the-battlefield-6-beta\"><span>How to access and preload the Battlefield 6 beta<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re playing in early access or waiting for the public beta, you&#8217;ll access the Battlefield 6 open beta the same way. Here are the direct links to the beta on every platform:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2807960\/Battlefield_6\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steam<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ea.com\/en\/games\/battlefield\/battlefield-6-open-beta\" target=\"_blank\">EA App<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/store.playstation.com\/en-gb\/product\/UP0006-PPSA28176_00-BETABETA00000000\/\" target=\"_blank\">PS5<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-us\/games\/store\/battlefield-6-open-beta\/9n82w416g5kk\" target=\"_blank\">Xbox<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On top of the good news that Battlefield 6 won&#8217;t require the EA App on Steam, you also won&#8217;t need it to play the open beta. Just head to the BF6 Steam page and look for the &#8220;Join the playtest&#8221; button. If you&#8217;re a BF Labs member who played through the EA App, you should probably install the beta there to ensure you don&#8217;t run into issues.<\/p>\n<p>Preloading is live on all platforms, so there&#8217;s no reason not to save some time by installing the ~40 GB package. You can even run it early to optimize shaders and tune your graphics settings ahead of time, but there&#8217;s nothing else to do in the menus until the main event.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-battlefield-6-beta-dates\"><span>Battlefield 6 beta dates<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wWkG7r5lM10\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The BF6 beta goes live at the same time on all platforms starting Thursday, August 7. EA has yet to say the exact hour that the beta begins, so we&#8217;re left to guess it&#8217;ll be sometime in the morning\/early afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Weekend 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>August 7 &#8211; August 8 (Early access)<\/li>\n<li>August 9 &#8211; August 10 (Open)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Weekend 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>August 14 &#8211; August 17 (Open)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is purely speculation, but we could see an extra day added to either beta weekend if EA&#8217;s servers crumble under the weight of BF6&#8217;s rapidly expanding hype. After all, Battlefield has a long history of launching with connectivity issues, though one would hope Battlefield Studio&#8217;s extensive Labs playtesting means it&#8217;s better prepared.<\/p>\n<p>Battlefield 6&#8217;s full launch is coming on October 10. EA hasn&#8217;t announced any beta dates beyond the ones listed here, but we&#8217;ll let you know if they decide to run any more before launch.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-all-battlefield-6-beta-rewards-and-how-to-earn-them\"><span>All Battlefield 6 beta rewards and how to earn them<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"XU2bWcH6PeB5NaRkGtvG6B\" name=\"battlefield 6 beta rewards\" alt=\"Battlefield 6 beta rewards: An infographic showing all the open beta rewards you can earn, with images of each one.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/how-to-access-the-battlefield-6-open-beta-how-to-preload-and-when-it-starts.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: EA)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can earn a handful of rewards for participating in the Battlefield 6 beta, which will carry over into the full game when it launches in October.
