Battlefield 2042 beta could begin this week

Back in June, rumours began swirling that Battlefield 2042 would enter public beta testing in September. Now, it seems we have some more specific dates, with an early access beta set to begin as early as this week, followed by a full open beta later in the month. 

Typically, DICE likes to beta test upcoming Battlefield games around six weeks before launch. With the game coming on the 22nd of October, beta testing would have to begin in September. According to sources, the early access beta for pre-order customers will begin on the 4th of September, while the full open beta will begin on the 6th of September. Beta testing would come to a close on the 11th of September.

Battlefield 2042 is releasing on the 22nd of October, unless you’re an EA Play subscriber. If you are a subscriber and pre-order the game, you will get access a full week early on the 15th of October. With that in mind, beta testing needs to begin sooner rather than later.

Battlefield 2042 has been in closed alpha testing for a couple of months now, which led to a slew of gameplay leaks as testers broke NDA. DICE has yet to officially announce dates for the Battlefield 2042 beta, but pre-loading has begun on Xbox consoles, indicating an official announcement very soon.

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.
