Battlefield Labs Confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series and Not Just PC, PC Requirements Revealed

[summaraize]

With yesterday’s announcement of Battlefield Labs, some might have assumed that it’ll be just for PC, similar to past Battlefield games’ CTE (Community Test Environment). Thankfully, we can confirm that won’t be the case, as both PS5 and Xbx Series X|S owners can take part in the testing phase too (assuming you get picked).

Publisher Electronic Arts confirmed this, as well as that console players who wish to participate will need an active PlayStation Plus subscription and/or Xbox Game Pass Core (formerly Xbox Live Gold).

New Battlefield First Gameplay Look Surfaces as BF Labs Officially Announced - Video, Screenshots and More Unveiled

While we already reported on how Battlefield Labs will be the new testing platform for EA's upcoming Battlefield game, the official announcement brought in new info about that, and even our first look at gameplay of the new Battlefield game! It's just a few seconds long, but even so, it should be enough to whet the appetites of Battlefield veterans, given it confirms a modern military setting, vehicles, and destruction.

Battlefield Labs Is the First Testing Platform of Battlefield Available on Consoles

On the official Battlefield Labs portion of EA’s site, an FAQ was made available where it confirms the platforms.

“Battlefield Labs will be available on PC via the EA App, PlayStation 5 (PlayStation Plus subscription required) and Xbox Series X|S (Xbox Game Pass Core (formerly known as Xbox Live Gold) required),” it notes.

Other topics covered by EA concerning BF Labs confirm that a “few thousand players” will be able to participate, comprised of Battlefield veterans and new players alike.

Per EA, ” The invite for the first tests will be for a few thousand players – both veteran Battlefield players and those that have not played before – located in Europe and North America.

We do have plans to expand server locations, alongside invite numbers growing to tens of thousands, in the future.”

EA also plans on publishing recaps and updates on learnings, alongside what actions they are taking. This means that even if you’re not actively testing out the new Battlefield game, you’ll still be able to take note of the direction the studio is heading.

Battlefield Labs PC Requirements Revealed

Here are the Battlefield Labs PC requirements (note that this is not the requirements for Battlefield 2025, but just for BF Labs).

Here’s a table based on the information you provided:

Again, I want to stress that these are the requirements for Battlefield Labs only, not the final game.

In previous Battlefield testing programs, it was only made available on PC, which was understandable given the closed nature of consoles. This is very good news that DICE and EA have decided to include consoles, and a sign that the developers are keeping up with the times.

We’ll have more news regarding Battlefield Labs and the new Battlefield, which is assumed to be released later this year, so make sure to bookmark MP1st.

Battlefield 2025 is in development by DICE, Criterion, Motive and Ripple Effect for release on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
