Battlefield 6 Open Beta Receives New Update Version 1.000.002 Ahead of Start Date

With the Battlefield 6 open beta early access phase kicking off tomorrow, August 7, DICE has released an update to the client today. This is a minor patch, and given we don’t have access to the game at all, chances are this implements backend changes.

Clocking in at 472 MB on the PS5, players will be required to download the Battlefield 6 open beta update version 1.000.002 before they can connect to the game’s servers. It’s best to download this now if possible, so you’ll be ready when the servers are activated tomorrow.
