The open beta is available to anyone, with no content restrictions, ideal for streaming and content creators. However, for an initial impression, the Battlefield 2042 beta is your best chance to date.Įlectronic Arts previously hosted a smaller-scale technical test, operating on an invite-only basis, coupled with a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that prohibited sharing footage. There's also a higher chance of bugs and issues than the final release. The test hosts just one of 13 maps slated for this November while also restricting gear and gadgets available to players. The test provides Electronic Arts with further feedback to deliver those last-minute refinements while improving servers and connectivity for its player base at launch. The open beta grants an early insight into what's ahead, although the build isn't necessarily representative of what to expect at launch. The beta provides DICE with real-world testing at an unparalleled scale, while for many eager fans, it doubles as the first public hands-on.

While Battlefield 2042 development continues behind closed doors, the beta test delivers a slice of what's to come before its Nov.
