Following the announcement of Battlefield Labs, which is Electronic Arts’ new testing platform for the franchise, some might have been skeptical whether fans still wanted a new Battlefield game following the disappointing releases of Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield V.

Based on the amount of players that tried signing up to Battlefield Labs, interest in the franchise remains a high clip.

Battlefield Labs Sign Ups Causes Server Issues Amid High Interest

When we tried signing up to it, the servers crashed a few times, which is something DICE acknowledged. “Thank you all for your enthusiastic response to our Battlefield Labs announcement yesterday. We’re thrilled by the interest, which has exceeded our expectations,” the studio noted.

In addition, DICE said, “We are aware that some of you have encountered issues with the sign-up page queue. Please know that we’re actively working to resolve this.”

While we can’t say for sure how many people signed up to the limited playtest, we do know that it’s over 1.3 million. Content creator TacticalBrit captured a screenshot of the queue to  sign up, and well, let’s just say that we’re glad this line is a virtual one.

 

It seems the servers are OK now, and you won’t have to wait to sign up. Remember that signing up does not guarantee a place in the playtest. EA also confirmed that Battlefield Labs will run on consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) and not just PC. Hopefully, EA doesn’t take for granted the interest players have shown and builds upon that, so we’ll have a proper Battlefield game at launch this time.

There is no word yet on when we can expect the next info drop for the new Battlefield, but we’re hoping it’ll be soon. While there’s no release date for it yet, EA has confirmed it will be released before April 2026.

If you’ve been granted a spot in the playtest, congrats!

Expect news about Battlefield Labs and the new Battlefield to be available ASAP on MP1st.
