Battlefield 6 open beta – start time and preload details

Supporters express a measured sense of excitement regarding Battlefield 6 after its multiplayer unveiling last week, during which the creators assured that the new game wouldn’t include whimsical costumes and would boast a cohesive destructible environment compared to its previous versions.

Following the events with Battlefield 2042, the community is leaning more towards “trust, but confirm” in their sentiments, and the upcoming beta for Battlefield 6 offers that chance. EA has announced two separate weekend open betas for the game, with the first one commencing within a few days.

Check out the starting times and preload information for the open beta of BF6 below, so you can prepare for its exciting launch!
