According to a report from Insider-Gaming, new data extracted from Battlefield Labs suggests Electronic Arts is preparing an open beta for its upcoming military shooter, currently identified as Battlefield 6 pending an official name reveal.

In recent code revisions for Battlefield Labs—EA’s platform for experimenting with mechanics for the next franchise installment—the 1BF Telegram Group discovered references to a “Battlefield 6 Open Beta” within updated files. However, specifics about timelines or features weren’t disclosed alongside the listing.

Organizing public testing phases aligns with industry standards for multiplayer titles, offering studios opportunities to evaluate server stability while allowing participants early access to gameplay systems. Previous franchise entries have followed similar frameworks ahead of launch.

Anticipation for the project continues building as unofficial materials surface online, from alleged Rush Mode gameplay clips to campaign snippets. EA has periodically released controlled behind-the-scenes footage via Battlefield Labs to demonstrate developmental milestones.

The publisher has confirmed plans for a summer showcase to formally introduce the title, potentially including beta registration details. Speculation suggests this event could outline launch windows and content roadmaps to engage prospective players early.

Insiders indicate EA has allocated substantial resources to the project, with development costs reportedly exceeding $400 million. Ambitious internal forecasts aim for over 100 million active users, reflecting confidence in the game’s ability to revitalize the franchise following recent releases.
