Star Wars Battlefront 2 early access beta key
When will I receive my early access beta code on Origin? For battlefront 2
Forum Discussion
Usually beta keys are sent out weeks ahead of the beta, so that's quite inaccurate and not at all what they were asking. Last I heard, beta keys were being sent out on the 16th of September (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tt4g_FugRs) and I'm curious when EA will be sending out the keys for those they bought the game on Origin. Haven't found anything yet stating which places were going to be sending out the keys on that date though. Is EA sending them out a few days prior to the beta or have they already begun sending them out, but they are going out in batches? Hoping the answers will surface, will post here when I find them.

Community Admin@RedSatyr5 @halowolf969 Thanks for the questions, I'll try find out more info.
For Origin pre-orders I think the codes will just be handled internally but I'll try to confirm this.
What this would mean is that the account with a pre-order would just be able to play from the 4th without needing to take further action.
Generally codes are needed when purchasing from a 3rd party, but extra codes for first party direct digital sales are usually processed automatically.
Edit: Yes I got confirmation, if you pre-ordered via Origin or Xbox/PS4 digital stores then you don't need to worry about codes, you can just download when Early Access becomes available.
- So,just to be sure,I preordered the deluxe edition from the PlayStation store so I shouldn't need a code to get Oct. 4 early access beta? It should automatically download without me having to manually put in code?
I believe so, yes. EA will probably have more information to share regarding it in the upcoming days before the Beta starts. 🙂
- Sweet 👍 Thank you for the quick reply.
- I pre ordered it about a month ago from game. Typed in a code on the Xbox store and still haven't received any code for the beta. The code came with the pre order slip.
I pre-ordered on Amazon on 9/27 but they hadn't sent my beta key up yet by 10/2, so I called Customer No-Service, who said (after putting me on hold for 10 minutes) that the beta codes would go out on the 4th. That was a fake answer, because everyone I've seen on the forums either got theirs right away or had to write Amazon Customer Service for it.
So I cancelled the preorder on Amazon, and pre-ordered on Origin instead. It was only after I had ordered however that I noticed the tiny, almost imperceptible fine print on the SW:BFII page that said pre-orders made within 4 days of the beta would not receive beta codes.
FML.. I've gotten used to Amazon letting me down. I'd have never used them except I had some store credit left with them. But this stresses my hide even more that I won't even get a chance to try the game on my PC before my credit card gets raided for $60 when I could have waited for the price to inevitably drop in a few weeks...
Lesson learned: Not falling for pre-order baiting anymore.Cryoscout,
FYI, everyone can download the beta on Friday without a code. So you still get to test the game before Nov 17th.
Thanks! I found the beta in Origins' My Game Library and got an email today advising of that. Also got a code for a friend, which is cool. And I got the beta code for my PS4 copy I bought from Best Buy a few days ago.
I preordered on Origin but the Beta hasnt yet showed up?`I preordered september 30th. The game is in my library but there is no beta ☹️
