Mark your calendars! The Battlefield 6 open beta release date is actually a two-part event –
- Open Beta Weekend 1: August 9-10
- Open Beta Weekend 2: August 14-17
Also, there will be an early access period for select players on August 7–8. This is your chance to get a head start on the action and see how the game’s innovative destruction mechanics and updated class system feel in a live environment.
The Return of Tactical Destruction
One of the biggest takeaways from the recent reveal is the game’s new “Tactical Destruction” system. Unlike past games that allowed for total, random devastation, this new approach focuses on creating balanced and fun gameplay. As explained by EA executive Vince Zampella, the goal is to allow for environmental changes without completely ruining the map’s design. You’ll be able to blow up specific buildings and create new lines of sight, but the map will always remain a cohesive and enjoyable experience.
