“Battlefield 6 Open Beta” Code Added to BF Labs Latest Build

Could Electronic Arts be readying a beta for the new Battlefield game even if we still don’t know its official title? While it might sound absurd to think of it now, a recent development with the Battlefield Labs client suggests DICE might be cooking something up.

Bear in mind that the information you’re about to read is based on data mining the Battlefield Labs client, which means it’s not official; however, it’s worth discussing, given the recent additions.

Updated Battlefield 6 Player Movement Mechanics From BF Labs Heavily Lean Into COD Territory

While DICE and EA have remained mum about the new Battlefield game (which we're referring to as Battlefield 6 even there's very slim chance that's the actual title), a ton of info about the game has surfaced from the closed Battlefield Labs playtest.

Battlefield Labs Client Update Adds BF6 Beta Mention

According to the 1BF Telegram group, the string “Battlefield 6 open beta” has been spotted in the latest client update for BF Labs.

This is a small part of the code from a larger piece, but you can clearly see “Battlefield 6 Open Beta” mentioned. While we don’t expect the new Battlefield game to be titled “Battlefield 6,” since that might confuse a lot of people after Battlefield 2042, it would make sense for DICE to have that name for the in-development entry since they didn’t expect people to see it.

EA has reaffirmed that the new Battlefield game’s reveal is due sometime this summer. Perhaps there’s a chance we’ll get a surprise open beta drop as well? Chances are, EA will use the beta as a marketing ploy to get people to pre-order the game, much like what other multiplayer shooters do.

In other Battlefield 6 news, info about its campaign has surfaced thanks to a datamine, and there’s even early placeholder footage too.

While EA hasn’t even officially revealed the new Battlefield game yet, a new report mentions how the publisher is targeting 100 million players for it, and how it has the largest budget in Battlefield history.

Do you think EA will surprise us all by dropping a Battlefield 6 open beta when the game is revealed? Or is that too wishful thinking on our end?
