Call of Duty has been the reigning champion of first-person shooters for more than ten years, overshadowing all competition. The notable exception is Battlefield, which has cultivated its own loyal fanbase by delivering expansive battles, a rich array of vehicles, and diverse classes. However, the last installment saw the franchise hit a low point, leaving fans awaiting updates about future developments. Now, there’s exciting news: Battlefield Labs is a new initiative that invites players to preview what the new Battlefield Studios teams are creating well before the official launch. If you’re eager to be among the first to experience it, read on for details on how to sign up.
How to Sign Up for Battlefield Labs
Battlefield Labs operates on an invite-only basis. Anyone with an EA account and a compatible platform can sign up, though selection is not guaranteed. Currently, participation is limited to players in North America and Europe, but there are intentions to expand to additional regions in the future.
Follow these steps to register:
Step 1: Go to the official Battlefield Labs website.
Step 2: Select Sign Up Now.
Step 3: You’ll be placed in a queue until your turn to enter your information arrives. The system will show you how many players are ahead of you, along with an estimated wait time, if applicable.
You may close the window without losing your spot in line, but it’s important to be present when it’s your turn.
Step 4: When it’s your turn, you will have a 15-minute window to input your information and register for Battlefield Labs.
Step 5: If you are selected, expect to receive an email at playtesting@ea.com containing instructions and details on how to participate.
As of now, EA has not announced when playtesting will commence, other than mentioning it will happen “in the coming weeks.” Testing phases will occur in waves approximately every few weeks, with the number of invited players gradually increasing.
Details about what to expect from Battlefield Labs remain sparse. Participants will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement, prohibiting any discussion or disclosure of the content from the tests.
