Electonic Arts has detailed the upcoming Battlefield 6 open beta, revealing multiplayer maps, modes, and challenges that will be available to players who sign up for the playtests. The open beta events for the military shooter will go live across two weekends this month, from August 9 to August 10 and then from August 14 to August 17. Interested players can also now pre-load Battlefield 6 on supported platforms.
Players who signed up for Battlefield Labs before July 31 and EA Play Pro members will get early access to the first open beta, starting August 7. The first Battlefield 6 open beta weekend will feature three maps: Siege of Cairo, Liberation Peak, and Iberian Offensive, EA confirmed in a blog post on Monday.
As per EA, each map comes with different combat zones that are configured to fit different game modes. During the first open beta, players will have access to five multiplayer game modes: Conquest, Closed Weapons Breakthrough, Breakthrough, Domination, and King of the Hill.
Battlefield 6's first open beta will also come with seven challenges, four of which will be tied to the four available classes. Completing the challenges during the first weekend will grant in-game rewards that can be used when the full game launches in October.
The second open beta, which will kick off on August 14, will include all three maps from week 1, plus the New York-based Empire State map. Week 2 will also get two new modes — Rush and Squad Deathmatch — in addition to the modes available in week 1, and will add three new challenges for players.
