How To Get Battlefield 6 Beta Codes

You can access the Battlefield 6 Beta in several ways:

1. Pre-Order the Game

Pre-ordering any edition of Battlefield 6 (Standard, Gold, or Ultimate) guarantees early access to the Open Beta.

2. EA Play / Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

EA Play subscribers (also bundled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) will also receive early beta access without needing to pre-order.

3. Beta Code Giveaways

EA typically partners with streamers, YouTubers, and press outlets for beta key giveaways, especially in the days leading up to launch.

4. Public Access

Once early access ends, the beta becomes completely free to play on all supported platforms. No code needed!

Confirmed Maps (Beta Build)

Although EA hasn’t fully revealed the map list, dataminers and trailers have confirmed the following playable maps in the Open Beta:

1. Red Zone (Urban Siege)

A bombed-out city with close-quarters combat and collapsing skyscrapers.

2. Echo Range (Mountain Warfare)

Set in a high-altitude military base with dynamic weather and verticality.

Tank-heavy open warfare across sand dunes, outposts, and oil refineries.

All maps will feature dynamic destruction, weather effects, and Levolution-style scripted events.
