To preload Battlefield 6 (BF6) beta, the general process is:

• On PC, open your platform's client such as EA App, Steam, or Epic Games Launcher.
• Search for "Battlefield 6 Open Beta" in the store or game library section.
• You should see an option to preload or download the beta client. Simply click preload or download.
• The game will then download and install in advance, so you can play immediately when the beta goes live.

For consoles (PlayStation and Xbox), you do the same from their respective stores: search Battlefield 6 beta and start the preload. The preload typically becomes available a few days before the beta's official start date. You may need to redeem any access codes if you have early access. Then just wait until the beta opens to play. This preload process has been used for Battlefield 6 beta events in 2025 and is similar across platforms, enabling players to be ready as soon as the beta goes live.
