The Battlefield 6 beta is now open to everyone. Over the past two days, those with early access beta keys and those that had signed up for Battlefield Labs, have been enjoying time in the Battlefield 6 beta.
Now, it's your turn. Yes, you.
The Battlefield 6 open beta is now truly open to everyone on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. On the PC side, you can download and play through Steam, Epic, or the EA app.
I have already seen login queues reaching six-digits reported by some players. In my experience during the early access period, the queue did move quite fast no matter how many player it said were ahead of me.
It's also important to keep in mind that Battlefield 6 requires that Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 be enabled on PC. This is due a requirement for the anti-cheat measures used in Battlefield 6. Now, the anti-cheat team for Battlefield 6 has flatly stated that things like Secure Boot "are not a silver bullet" to stop all cheating. However, it is used as an added barrier to make it harder for cheat makers to create cheat programs and makes it easier for the anti-cheat to detect when they do.
Still, the anti-cheat team says that their Javelin anti-cheat has already stopped over 330,000 attempts to cheat or tamper with anti-cheat controls. That was just within the first day and a half for the early access. They also received over 100,000 reports from players of cheating in the first day and a half of the early access that they will use to improve their detection systems.
193,320. Jeez
My only complaints are around the UI. It's hard to tell when the game starts unless you're listening for a slight bass hit. Perhaps if I had music on, that'd be my cue. I wish I could edit loadouts in the after-match report instead of having to wait until the next level loads up & try to rush through it while the game is already going on.
