Battlefield 6 Open Beta Could Be Coming Soon

A new line of code has been discovered that suggests an open beta for the next Battlefield game could be coming soon. This is just the latest in a long line of leaks, as the developers have been working hard to prevent testers from revealing information about the next game in the franchise. Considering EA is still planning a big Battlefield announcement for the summer of 2025, it's entirely possible that an open beta could be right around the corner.

One of the most recent Battlefield leaks has confirmed a battle royale mode in the franchise's latest title. EA and DICE are aiming for a much larger player base than previous titles like Battlefield 2042, which had around 22 million players. This time around, the developers are aiming for 100 million players, and it seems like a battle royale mode is just one of the ways they're planning to reach that goal.

A recent report on Battlefield 6 reveals information about the development process, giving a clearer look at the goals for the future of the franchise.

In this latest leak (reported by MP1st), a line of code from the most recent client update contains the phrase "Battlefield 6 Open Beta." While it's only a small portion of the code, it's the first time anything released by the developer has alluded to both the name of the next game and EA's plans for a beta test.

It's possible that this code doesn't reflect the official name of the project, and the mention of a beta doesn't indicate when it will be held. Even Battlefield 2042 already has an open beta, so gamers can rest assured that this event is likely to happen, but no official date has been announced.

While the project has been dubbed Battlefield 6 for quite some time, the official name has yet to be announced. It's likely that this detail will be confirmed or denied at the Battlefield reveal event this summer, which is expected to take place soon.

It's common for AAA developers to use codenames during development, so it's entirely possible that Battlefield 6 won't be the game's official name. Still, the ambitions of Battlefield's developers could indicate the direction EA is planning for the franchise, giving fans a better idea of what's to come.

In addition to the news of the addition of a battle royale mode, recent leaks about the Battlefield 6 campaign mode reveal that the game will be far different from its predecessor, Battlefield 2042.

With EA going over budget on the game, it seems clear that the next Battlefield is shaping up to be one of the most epic entries in the franchise's history. Either way, it looks like fans won't have to wait much longer to sign up for the open beta and get their hands on what the next Battlefield game has in store.
