To get early access to a Battlefield game (such as Battlefield 6 beta), you can follow these common methods:
- Watch Battlefield streams with Twitch Drops enabled for 30 minutes. After that, you receive an early access code via Twitch notifications. You must claim the reward from your Twitch Drops inventory within 24 hours. Then redeem the code on EA's website linked to your EA account to activate early access. This method is free and widely used.
- If you signed up for Battlefield Labs before a certain cutoff date (e.g., July 31 for Battlefield 6), you may automatically receive an early access code via email.
- EA Play Pro subscribers on PC often get early access automatically without needing a code.
- Preloading the game client (when available) allows you to download the beta ahead of official open beta weekends, so you're ready to play on day one.
- Early access codes can sometimes be obtained from official giveaways and social media promotions by EA.
For Battlefield 6 specifically, early access was available August 7-8, with open beta following August 9-10 and a second open beta from August 14-17. Early access required redeeming a code obtained from Twitch Drops or Battlefield Labs signups. After early access periods, the beta was open to all without codes.
In summary, the easiest way to get early access is to watch Twitch streams of Battlefield for about 30 minutes during eligible periods to earn a code, then redeem it on EA's website. Alternatively, subscribing to EA Play Pro or signing up early for Battlefield Labs can secure early access automatically. Always watch for official announcements and promotions from EA.
