Battlefield Beta: Thousands Test New Features

EA has unveiled Battlefield Labs, a closed internal beta program offering sneak peeks at upcoming Battlefield titles. A short gameplay clip from the pre-alpha build has also been shared.

Battlefield Labs participants will test core mechanics and concepts, though not all will be included in the final game. An NDA is required before access is granted. Initial modes include Conquest and Breakthrough, with early testing concentrating on combat and destruction, followed by balance adjustments.

Pre-registration is open for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A few thousand players will receive invitations in the coming weeks, with plans for broader regional access later.
