If I purchase Battlefield 2042 from a retail outlet in the USA such as Best Buy or Game Stop, will I get Beta access? From the EA.com website it appears you would only get Beta access if you purchase via Origin, Steam, Epic or EA Play Pro. I look forward to your reply.
@KOT-RottenDeslok^ see above.
I can confirm that Best Buy and GameStop are offering the same bonuses.
So it's a great occasion to test your game if you have a low GPU, to see if it works. Then, you can decide if you want to buy the game or not.
@KOT-RottenDeslok I preordered through GameStop, but I don't have any information on where to enter the code. GameStop says to log on to their website for more info, but there's no info on how to use the code, and associates have no clue, either. I will call them again, Monday. Not happy, so far.
@ChugKendallI I ended up purchasing it from Best Buy. I wanted the SteelBook case. From my understanding Beta access is open to everyone. BestBuy.com does have on its website the following: "Early access to game launch". NOTE: That was only in the digital version. So, we should receive the access code, but I am guessing. Also, Best Buy now has the disc version of the game available.
@carsono311Thank you for the information. I ended up purchasing it from Best Buy. I have to support the local retailers. Plus, I wanted the Steelbook case. I have a link to it from BestBuy.com below:

@KOT-RottenDeslok Yes, the beta is open to all, but the word was that preordering it got you into the beta a week early (extra play time). I tried to enter the code I received on EA's site, and through Micro$oft, and looked all over Gamestop's website, but nothing worked. Called two different Gamestops, and their associates don't have a clue, either. It's really making me irritated.
