Report: Battlefield 2042 Open Beta Coming in September

Next Battlefield 2042 Update

While today has been quite busy in terms of Battlefield news given EA just dropped a bomb with Battlefield 2042’s “Battlefield Portal,” it seems some other important nuggets of news have slipped past. One of these is when the Battlefield 2042 open beta is set to start, and apparently, that’s scheduled for September!

This was revealed by YouTuber JackFrags in his latest video where he talks about Battlefield Portal, and what he saw behind the invite-only event. Near the end of the video, JackFrags’ casually states, “open beta is in September, by the way, I forgot to mention that.”

You can watch it around the 10:01 mark.

What’s strange is, checking the official Battlefield 2042 FAQ about the beta, here’s what’s there:

Will there be an Open Beta for Battlefield 2042?

Yes, in the months leading up to launch, we will host an Open Beta* available to all players across all platforms. If you pre-order any of the editions of Battlefield 2042, you will get early access to the Open Beta. Stay tuned for more Open Beta details.

Given JackFrags’ reach and popularity within the Battlefield community, chances are, he’s telling the truth. Could this be info that wasn’t supposed to be made public yet? We emailed EA asking for confirmation about this and will update if we get anything back.
