Battlefield 2042 Open Beta Is Still On For September

Battlefield 2042 open beta

There were some rumblings the Battlefield 2042 beta was set to be next week, but that’s looking unlikely. EA’s Lead Community Manager jumped on Twitter to show off a few new snippets of gameplay and also confirmed we’ll hear more about the open beta “in the next few weeks,” while also confirming it’s still set to come out in September.

Big month for all the crews working across @Battlefield

We'll have news in the next few weeks on what to expect with Open Beta later this month, and more gameplay to show you from Specialists you've not seen in action yet 👀 pic.twitter.com/j0SsrGzSCe

DualShockers’ Tom Henderson, who has been pretty spot on with his Battlefield 2042 info, says the beta kicks off on September 22.

The #BATTLEFIELD2042 Beta is September 22nd.

I'll give away 10 copies of #BATTLEFIELD2042 to 10 random people that Retweet this if it ends up not being true.

That lines up with the ‘few weeks’ timeframe from EA’s Lead Community Manager.

That’ll put the open beta kicking off just a month from the game’s official release—basically, a demo/server stress test. Cross your fingers that the server folks at DICE and EA use this as an opportunity to prepare for a smooth launch.

Battlefield games are notorious for rough launch periods. Battlefield 4 is one of my all-time favorite shooters, but getting a match of Conquest going in the first few months after launch was a chore. With interest in Battlefield at heights we haven’t seen in years, EA needs a smooth launch to capitalize on all the hype.

And while launch is right around the corner, there’s still plenty for EA to reveal. There are five specialists we know nothing about. Plus, the Hazard Zone game mode. All the unofficial info (via data mining, leaks) we’ve heard about Hazard Zone likened it to Escape From Tarkov/Hunt Showdown (single life, extracting, fighting AI/real players, that kind of stuff).

The holiday season is shaping up to be a fantastic one for shooter fans with a new Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Halo, all within a month or so of one another. For Battlefield fans, we’ll be getting our hands on a modern Battlefield for the first time since Battlefield 4 in a couple of weeks.
