Battlefield 6 Open Beta release time & countdown clock

The Battlefield 6 Open Beta will be divided into three stages, starting with early access. Here's exactly when you can play the game.

Don't Get too excited. Currently in a server queue of over 260,000 people and that's with the 2 day early access. It'll only get worse when it opens to everyone in 2 days

boing1279d ago (Edited 279d ago )

I was waiting like 20min. Not a big deal, but I do hope it's telling them something and that they will have more capacity during the weekend.

monkey602279d ago

I got a few games in. I was about 20 mins in the queue when it collapsed and booted me. Had to rejoin and it was about another 20 mins but in fairness the game ran ad smooth as butter

boing1279d ago

Yeah, I'm after a few as well. Don't want to jinx it but it feels like BF might be actually back.

raWfodog278d ago

Looking forward to trying it out next week. Been a while since I’ve gotten excited to hop back into an FPS.

Same lol I just sent a message to the boys telling them to make sure they download the beta for Saturday so we can all play

Battlefield 6 Roadmap for 2026 Promises Server Browser, Persistent Servers, Naval Warfare and More

The Battlefield 6 roadmap for 2026 has been revealed, and it confirms a server browser is on the way alongside naval warfare and more.

Until they add bigger maps to modes other that their garbage br, im not reinstalling that, they just blatantly misled a lot of people leading up to release. And still refuse just add bigger maps which people have asked for since the beta fk EA!

Extermin8or3_26d ago

Someone didn't read the article.

isarai_lee26d ago

Why would you assume that? Nowhere in there does it mention bigger maps, it mentions reimagined old maps, says nothing about their size

Duke1925d ago (Edited 25d ago )

TBF - the developer does say that next month they are releasing the largest map they have released in a Battlefield yet in Golmud. (4x the size of Mirak Valley)

And then in July comes Tsuru Reef (even larger) which I actually think looks really sick

REDGUM25d ago

I couldn't agree less with you actually.
EA hav3 listened to the people before releasing this B6 game.
It plays much better and more battlefield like than the past 3 installments.
Personally, it's not bigger maps this game needs. They've dropped the player count which is a great compromise imo.
Bigger maps with only 32 v 32 means more running around doing nothing.
Keep the new maps coming & aiming for old style battlefield games and it's a win win for me.

Server browser should've been in there at launch, when will devs learn this? It's a feature seemingly always neglected but then added in a future update...

AuraAbjure25d ago

I remember in BF Hardline the server browser didn’t have any dedicated DLC maps, and the entire player base fell off accordingly. When people pay good money for DLC maps, they want to be able to actually play them, and that means dedicated DLC ONLY servers must be programmed into the server browser by the devs.

AuraAbjure25d ago

EA should do what Bungie did for Halo 2 in 2005. When Bungie basically invented DLC maps for online matchmaking they were smart enough to realize it could split the community. DLC maps had DEDICATED PLAYLISTS so players who spent good money on the DLC could hop right into matches. Later, the DLC maps became free and also became a MANDATORY DOWNLOAD for everyone so that the DLC maps could be integrated into all standard playlists. This prevented the game from dying and the community from being fractured.
