At long last, EA has unveiled Battlefield Labs, offering a first glimpse into the next Battlefield game. Want to help shape the future of the franchise and gain early access to Battlefield 6? Here's how to join Battlefield Labs.

What is Battlefield Labs?

Battlefield Labs is EA's initiative to gather crucial feedback from the community for the development of the next Battlefield title. This program gives select fans the unique opportunity to participate in early, remote playtests and directly influence the game's development by providing feedback to the developers at EA's Battlefield Studios.

Initially, the program will include a few thousand players in Europe and North America, with plans to expand globally to tens of thousands in the future. Battlefield Labs will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Is Battlefield Labs Different Than a Beta?

While EA has previously utilized beta testing, Battlefield Labs operates differently. The content accessed will be work-in-progress, featuring more bugs, unfinished elements, and potential technical issues than a typical beta.

EA seeks feedback on core gameplay aspects like combat loops, map flow, and balance. However, participants will be bound by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and cannot publicly share information.
