With the Battlefield 2042 beta dates and schedule , it seems EA has also uploaded the Battlefield 2042 beta PS5 client on the PlayStation Network as well! Not only that, but we now know the pre-load date for PlayStation gamers, too (at least for those who pre-ordered the Ultimate, and Gold editions of the game who are the ones getting early access)!

Bear in mind, some beta clients or game files do get patched even before they get released to gamers, so there is a possibility that this 16GB file size will be even bigger.
As for the Battlefield 2042 PS4/PS5 pre-load date, it’s set for November 10 — a complete nine days before it officially launches!
Update: Just pointing out (in case it wasn’t obvious), that the pre-load date shown below is for the Ultimate Edition, as they will get early access to the base game. Regular game owners should be able to pre-load on November 17.
Update: Can now confirm preload for early access launch goes live on 10th Nov for PS5/PS4 owners. Ultimate / Gold
Also the page has been fully updated on PS store to reflect new release date 12th & 19th NOV. respectively. #BATTLEFIELD2042 pic.twitter.com/2FZsQCbmre

This is definitely good news for those looking to download the game file ahead of launch. At least you’ll be able to clear some HDD space in advance before the game’s servers are turned on. Outside of the beta date, DICE has also revealed details on the progression and cosmetics, and even the PC requirements have been revealed, too.
Battlefield 2042 shoots out this November 19 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
