EA's DICE studio has blown the lid off the multiplayer for its upcoming military shooter Battlefield 6, and after an exciting first beta weekend, you can join the fray again in just a few days. Battlefield 6's first public beta is available to everyone and will resume this weekend. It's not too late to join in, and here's how.
The Battlefield 6 open beta is the first chance for players to experience the game's multiplayer before its full release on Oct. 10. While those with early access got a couple extra days to play and the first open beta weekend was a rousing success, if you didn't get to play, don't worry -- the second weekend will kick off at 1 a.m. PT on Thursday, Aug. 14 and run through Aug. 16, ending in the early hours of Sunday, Aug. 17.
Fans can visit Battlefield's website to get info for the open beta, which just requires linking your EA account to your platform account. PC players will also have to configure their system to Secure Boot as well (see below).
The beta will be playable on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S.
