Battlefield 6 Beta Has PlayStation-Exclusive Rewards
While publisher Electronic Arts has already revealed what kind of rewards gamers will get by participating in the Battlefield open beta this weekend, it looks like PlayStation gamers are getting a little extra.
If you’re playing the Battlefield 6 beta on PS5, EA is giving an extra freebie that you’ll be able to receive when the game launches in October, and it’s not just a trinket, but a full operator skin.
Battlefield 6 Open Beta on PS5 Has a Special Exclusive Reward
The image above pops up when you load the BF6 beta on PS5. As you can see, it literally mentions that there is an open beta PlayStation-exclusive reward in the form of the “Advance Party” soldier skin, which players will be able to equip for their character at launch.
Not only that, but it seems PS5 gamers are also getting double XP as well during the beta in the form of “event boosts.” At the end of each match, Battlefield 6 beta PS5 players will see a blue meter double the current XP they earned, which we can confirm isn’t available on other platforms. Note that this also applies to weapons, so PS5 gamers are also getting double weapon XP, which means they’ll be able to unlock attachments faster.
We’re guessing will also happen in the final version of the game once it’s out.
While gamers were used to seeing exclusive perks just for gaming on a PlayStation device for the past decade with Call of Duty, that ended when Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard was approved last year.
It appears that Sony has moved on from that breakup and is now ready to start something new with the Battlefield franchise. There’s no co-marketing deal announced between Electronic Arts and Sony regarding Battlefield 6, but it appears that some sort of agreement has been reached between the two companies.

The beta will run this weekend and the next, so best to hop on before it’s over.
Battlefield 6 will be released on October 10 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. If we spot any exclusive PlayStation stuff leading up to launch, we’ll let our readers know.

I can’t stand Xbox anymore between all the controversies as of late. Now this exclusive for PS5 skins double XP the fact that it shows this is even happening. I had to find out from a random post that there were even twitch drops during the beta. What I’m getting at is that Microsoft and Xbox suck so damn bad at doing anything good for gamers. I have been an Xbox user since the original but honestly I’m done with them they are horrible and I’m seeking my oos series x. Oh yeah the world’s fastest console only to be held back by the world’s crappiest console. That has got to be the absolute worst marketing on the face of this planet. Yeah we have the fastest thing ever built but we can’t utilize it because we also sell the world’s slowest POS. Brilliant Microsoft just fing brilliant I hate you Microsoft and Xbox.
I use to have an Xbox but sold it under 1 year cos the exclusives felt like shit compared to playstation. Now I got the ps5 pro, cant be happier
I have a base ps5 I bought 2 years ago, do you recommend the pro? is it a huge difference performance wise?
