As of now, there is no date set for the beta.
- carsono3114 years agoSeasoned Ace@JustBanzz Based on previous Open Beta timings, probably mid to late September.
Is there a Pre Alpha the ultimate members could sign up for to play?
Also, is Sept the normal time for these things. I am not expert but i think they should do it sooner to work out kinks. Just Excited i guess lol.
- PaperAssassin-PC4 years agoNew Hotshot@carsono311 True. I expect it to be a month before release.
- OkamiToge4 years agoSeasoned Ace@carsono311 That seems awfully too close to release for a beta imo, they need to test the hell out of the servers stress testing them like a week long beta imo I do not want to be constant disconnected in a match I'm doing good in. I still get random disconnects in BFV when I'm not lagging at all.

@JustBanzzNo, unfortunately pre-alpha is really only for a select few, invite-only. Think Game Changers here. There is normally a Closed Alpha and Closed Beta as well. Those events are usually further out from release and provide an opportunity to test more specific things and usually for a larger testing group.
@TankerFlankerFor the Open Beta, that has historically been the timeframe and for exactly the purposes you mentioned. Based on the hype we are seeing now, I expect the Open Beta will be a good test of the servers… - @JustBanzz We will probably find out official dates at their EA Play event in a month
- @carsono311 Yup, exactly what you just stated. They already put out that "Battlefield Veterans" would be invited to a closed beta. Their open betas are generally a month away from official release. BFV was the first release to my knowledge that preorder participants actually got to play the game two weeks, I think it was, in advance to the official release. I'm not sure what the advance play date was for 2042, like 4 or 5 days this time around? I can't recall.

As long as you preorder you get the beta correct?

@GrizzGolf You get early access to it when you pre-order. The beta itself is open to all.
