PlayStation 5 gamers have a unique opportunity to earn an exclusive cosmetic item by joining the upcoming Battlefield 6 Open Beta, which begins on August 9. This exciting event follows the Early Access phase currently underway, with the first of two beta weekends set to launch soon.

Since the multiplayer reveal, players have been eagerly queuing for the Battlefield 6 Open Beta, demonstrating massive interest even before servers went live. While the game has received praise for its return to classic Battlefield mechanics, the early access period hasn’t been without challenges. Bugs, glitches, and occasional cheaters have surfaced, but fans remain optimistic that EA will use this beta phase to refine the experience before the official October launch.

PlayStation 5 players logging into the beta will receive a notification about unlocking the Advance Party skin, available when Battlefield 6 officially releases. The skin features PlayStation-themed colors—black and gray with blue accents, including a distinctive headband on the soldier’s helmet. It’s unclear whether this cosmetic applies to all four classes or is limited to the Assault role.

Beyond the PlayStation-exclusive skin, players can earn additional rewards during both Open Beta weekends by completing milestones. These include reaching levels 10, 15, and 20, assisting teammates as an Engineer or Recon specialist, and achieving objectives like capturing flags or securing sectors in Breakthrough and Rush modes.

EA and Battlefield Studios have emphasized a grounded approach to cosmetics, avoiding flashy crossovers seen in games like Call of Duty or Fortnite. Instead, Battlefield 6 will feature authentic military-themed skins, maintaining the franchise's realistic tone.
