At long last, EA has unveiled Battlefield Studios and given us our first glimpse at the next Battlefield game. To help shape the future of the franchise, you can sign up for Battlefield Labs, which offers Battlefield 6 early access. Here’s how to get involved.
What is Battlefield Labs?
To gather crucial feedback for the next Battlefield game, EA is launching Battlefield Labs, a new program that invites a select group of fans to "step inside the war room." Participants in the Battlefield Labs program will have the chance to engage in early remote playtests and provide valuable feedback to the developers at EA's Battlefield Studios.
EA plans to kick off the Battlefield Labs program with a few thousand players in Europe and North America, with intentions to expand to other regions and include tens of thousands of players in the future. The program will be accessible on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Is Battlefield Labs Different Than a Beta? Answered
While EA has previously offered community access to Betas before the launch of Battlefield titles, Battlefield Labs operates differently. Participants will experience work-in-progress content, which may include more bugs, rough edges, and technical issues than what you'd typically find in a Beta.
The goal of Battlefield Labs is for members to provide essential feedback on aspects like the combat loop, map flow, and balance, helping to steer the direction of the upcoming Battlefield game. However, participants must adhere to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and are not allowed to share information publicly.
How to Sign Up for Battlefield Labs and Play Battlefield 6 Early Access
To join Battlefield Labs and potentially gain early access to Battlefield 6, visit the Battlefield Labs webpage. Here, you can learn more about the program and sign up for a chance to participate.
