EA Unveils Battlefield Labs: Your Chance to Shape the Next Battlefield Game
EA has launched Battlefield Labs, offering a select group of players early access to the next Battlefield game. This isn't your typical beta; it's an opportunity to provide direct feedback and influence the game's development.
What is Battlefield Labs?
Battlefield Labs is a program designed to gather crucial player feedback. Chosen participants will engage in early, remote playtests of unfinished game content, providing valuable insights to the developers at EA's Battlefield Studios. Initially, a few thousand players in Europe and North America will be selected, with plans to expand globally. The program will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Battlefield Labs vs. Beta Testing:
Unlike traditional betas, Battlefield Labs offers access to work-in-progress builds. Expect more bugs and rough edges than in a typical beta. The goal is to get raw feedback on core gameplay mechanics, map design, balance, and more. Participants will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and cannot publicly share information.
How to Sign Up:
Visit the Battlefield Labs webpage to learn more and register. You'll need an EA account, linked to your preferred gaming platform. Be aware of potential queues; you'll have a 15-minute window to access the site once your turn arrives. Complete the registration form and provide your email address to receive updates, including playtest invitations.
The next Battlefield game is slated for release in EA's fiscal year 2026 (before April 1, 2026). Get involved with Battlefield Labs and help shape the future of the franchise!
