Enter a code to access the Battlefield 6 beta, and you’ll be able to team up and get an early preview of EA’s new shooter, well before its official launch. Since the recent reveal event, excitement for Battlefield 6 has been growing, with players eager to try out different maps and game modes.

While the open beta is free for everyone, some players may have an early access code from Battlefield Labs or Twitch Drops. If you do, you might be wondering how to redeem it or how to preload the game so you’re ready to start when it goes live. Here’s everything you need to know about playing the Battlefield 6 beta.

How to join the Battlefield 6 beta

The open beta is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC through Steam, Epic Games Store, and the EA app. You don’t need a registration or a code during the beta period, but you do need to link your EA Account to your console or PC account first. If you haven’t linked your accounts yet, this EA guide will help you set it up.

There’s a special early access window starting two days before the official beta launch. To qualify for early access, you need to have:

Signed up for Battlefield Labs before July 31 and logged in with the same EA Account.
Watched select Twitch streamers during the July 31 reveal event to unlock an early access code.
Or, be an EA Play Pro subscriber linked to your EA Account.

Redeeming a Battlefield 6 early access code from Twitch Drops

If you earned an early access code through Twitch Drops, you can redeem it at the official redeem site. Just log in with your EA Account, enter the code, and link your platform accounts if you haven’t already. This will give you access to the beta before it officially starts.

It’s important to note that this step is only necessary if you’re accessing the game early via Twitch. During the main open beta weekend, no code is needed—you can simply download and play.

How to preload the Battlefield 6 beta

The preload for the Battlefield 6 open beta starts on August 4 at 8 a.m. Pacific time / 11 a.m. Eastern / 4 p.m. British Summer Time. To get ready, visit your platform’s store (PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Steam, Epic Games) and search for “Battlefield 6 open beta.” The game client should be available for download so you can start playing immediately when the beta goes live.

By preloading, you’ll save time and be ready to jump into the game as soon as it begins.

This guide will help you get ready for the Battlefield 6 beta, whether you’re redeeming an early access code or just preparing for the open event. Happy gaming!
