EA and Battlefield Studios have officially revealed that the highly anticipated Battlefield 6 will host its open beta across two separate weekends: August 9-10 and August 14-17. This next installment in the iconic first-person shooter franchise aims to revitalize the series after the mixed reception of Battlefield 2042.

Following the underwhelming launch of Battlefield 2042 in 2021, which received criticism from fans and critics alike, EA is determined to win back the trust of the Battlefield community with Battlefield 6. Early previews suggest the game is shaping up to be a significant improvement, featuring enhanced gameplay mechanics and a return to the franchise's roots.

The Battlefield 6 release is scheduled for October 10, with availability on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X at a standard price of $70. However, players won't have to wait until then to experience the action. The open beta will be accessible to everyone without requiring a pre-order or subscription, offering a chance to dive into the game's multiplayer modes early.

The campaign promises a gripping narrative, though fans will need to wait for the official release to experience it.

Battlefield 6 will be available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC via EA's platform, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Players can pre-order the game or sign up for updates through the official EA website.

With the open beta just around the corner, Battlefield 6 is poised to make a strong comeback, offering both longtime fans and newcomers an exciting glimpse into its revamped gameplay and expansive multiplayer experience.
