The open beta has come to a conclusion, and players might be itching to play even more. EA didn’t let gamers try out the single-player mode as well as other features like extra maps and the Portal.

Battlefield 6 is set to be released on Friday, October 10. The release date is just shy of two months away, so it will be here before you know it.

In recent years, it has become commonplace for games to offer a more expensive deluxe version that includes early access for those willing to pay extra. Battlefield 6 does have a £99.99 Phantom Edition, but it does not appear to include early access.

The regular version of the game costs £69.99 on the PlayStation Store. It is available to pre-order for £62.99 on Amazon UK.

Will the Battlefield 6 open beta return?

After running for two weekends in a row, players might be wondering if the Battlefield 6 open beta will return again. EA has not announced any further dates after the initial two weeks.

The open beta ran from August 9 - 11 and then August 14-18. The next chance players will have to play the game will come in October upon its full release.

What can you play Battlefield 6 on?

It will be available on PC as well as on the current generation of consoles. You can play the game on PS5 as well as Xbox Series X/ S, it has been confirmed.

For those who plan to play it on PC, it will be available on Steam, Epic Games Store and the EA app.
