I preordered Battlefield 2042, can I get access to the technical play test?

Hi Joz,

I don't think you see my point. I have been a long time BF fan, my friends got access some of whom who preordered and some who didn't and they received invites. I would ask you reconsider how you send invites out to your community.

Hi winters326,

no you understand it wrong, It is nice that you are a long time BF fan but many other people are also long time BF fan and didn't recieved an invite. As you have said:

You missed out on signing up in other words you was to late and even if you would have signed in there is no guarantee that you would be choosen to do the playtest because you would just be placed in an actual playtester "pool".

I also recall the quote from Senior Design Director for Battlefield 2042, Daniel Berlin:

How can I join the Technical Playtest?

No need to contact us, we’ll contact you!

The Technical Playtest will be in a closed environment and under strict NDA. Only a small group of participants will be able to join. If Playtesting is something that interests you, then we recommend you update your EA Playtesting profile. Registering for EA Playtesting will not guarantee you access to this, or other Playtests.

CloudMcRip,

I understand the situation, I am explaining my concerns, voicing my opinion, and making a suggestion for future improvement. If you like things the way they are that is fine, I am suggesting that it would be a great incentive and great  way to community opportunity to have play tests as part of pre-order. Additionally as a way to say thank you to your hardcore fan base, reward them for loyalty and say thank you by offering a perk like access to play tests. 

My main gripe is really 2 things 1) I didn't get an access (you are right, future Alpha and Beta tests will be available in the future) 2) I didn't get an email inviting me similar to my friends (boohoo me I was left out)

I'm happy you recall Mr. Berlin's quote, did you get access to the play test? How was it?

Hi @winters326 ,

The access to the special technical playtest was indeed extremely limited!

Just a few thousand players in total got invited, and that across all the 3 platforms.  So out of the literally millions of BF veterans of the game, don't take it personally if you didnt get invited, because it was not.  EA/DICE had many many more willing candidates that signed up for this event than what they had seats for.  And it didnt make any sense either to expand the scope.  It was just for a limited technical testing.  Nothing more, nothing less.

As a BF Veteran, then you do though for sure though have the option to join the early beta testing if you already pre-ordered the game.  So hopefully see you around for that!

Did you sign up here? https://www.ea.com/playtesting?isLocalized=true

Sorry if this is a stupid question, because I am new to the forum 😅

Yea true for this one it is too late. For future titles it is really cool to test and give feedback ✌️
