Battlefield 2042 Open Beta Drops Next Week

The hype for Battlefield 2042 has players ready to explode with anticipation. Now, EA has announced a Battlefield 2042 Open Beta for Oct. 6–9, 2021.

Players who pre-ordered the game will get an exclusive two-day early access period to the beta on Oct. 6. The beta will open up for all players on Oct. 8.

A Battlefield 2042 beta was originally slated for September, but was delayed as a result of Battlefield 2042’s official release getting pushed. News of next week’s beta leaked yesterday when superfan Tom Henderson noticed a post on the Chinese streaming site Bilibili.
