Whoa, okay, so Battlefield 6’s beta is about to hit us any minute now, right before the October 10th launch. Crazy how fast time flies, huh? Anyway, if you’re like me and itching to dive in, let’s break it down.
Apparently, August is gonna be lit with two weekends all about Battlefield 6. Imagine this: you smashing it on multiple maps and modes while snagging some sweet rewards. Think soldier skins and weapon packages ready to roll over into the full game. Kinda neat, yeah? So, first weekend gives you three maps, five game modes. Second weekend? An extra map plus three more modes. Boom, more stuff to mess around with. Oh, and crossplay’s a thing. Love it or hate it, up to you.
Now, how do you jump in? Simple—ish. Maybe not. Let’s just say there are open beta weekends. Two of them. Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 9, and Thursday, August 14. And suppose you’re one of those organized types, you can preload the beta on your fav device now. Nice.
But wait, plot twist! There’s early access too. Starting Thursday, August 7. If you’re in with Battlefield Labs or have been Twitch-stalking certain streamers before July 31, you might be in luck. Otherwise, well, take a chance on some other sneaky ways to snag early access keys. Oh yeah, one thing they make super clear: preordering the game won’t cut it for early access.
Remember, August 7-8 is reserved for those early birds with keys. Rest of us can jump in after that. Okay, where was I—ah, timing!
So, if you’re one of those early access ninjas, Battlefield 6’s beta goes live at 4 a.m. EDT on Thursday, August 7. Time zones can be a headache, right? Here’s it broken down:
– West Coast US? That’s 1 a.m. PDT for you.
– East Coast US? Yep, 4 a.m. EDT.
– Brazil? 5 a.m. BRT.
– UK friends, that’s 9 a.m. BST.
– Europe’s western side? 10 a.m. CEST hits the spot.
– Japan? You’re looking at 5 p.m. JST.
– And Australia’s east coast? Clock in at 6 p.m. AEST.
Jumping straight into the first open beta weekend from August 9. Packed with crazy fun and ends August 11 at the same time. Same timezone madness applies here, folks:
– 1 a.m. PDT for West Coast US
– 4 a.m. EDT for East Coast US
– 5 a.m. BRT for Brazil
– 9 a.m. BST for UK
– 10 a.m. CEST for Western Europe
– 5 p.m. JST for Japan
– 6 p.m. AEST for Australia’s East Coast
The lineup? Think Conquest, Closed Weapon Conquest, Breakthrough, Domination, and King of the Hill. Maps like Iberian Offensive and Liberation Peak are yours to conquer.
Second weekend kicks off on August 14 at 4 a.m. EDT. Similar timezone breakdown applies. Till August 17—mark that date—when it all wraps up.
Oh, nearly forgot, new stuff in second weekend. Empire State map, plus Rush and Squad Deathmatch modes. More chaos, yay! There you go, folks, all caught up? Let’s get ready to rumble — or, I guess, virtually rumble? Whatever. Game on.
