- A new string of reports suggests that EA is sending out Battlefield 6 playtest invites to select players.
- Multiple sources have clarified the playtests are starting very soon.
- Notable insider Tom Henderson also claims that EA has been having smaller private playtests weekly since last summer.
It’s no surprise that EA is pouring out a lot of its resources to develop Battlefield 6, with multiple studios working on it together to avoid another disappointment. Last year, the company expressed interest in holding private playtests in early 2025 to polish the first-person shooter.
Now, it appears that EA has already begun sending out Battlefield 6 playtest invites to a select few players, with the criteria for getting an invite being unknown at the moment. These playtests are said to be starting soon.
Why it matters: EA is finally seemingly ready to begin closed Battlefield 6 playtests on a larger scale to ensure that the next entry lives up to the expectations of the wider audience after the last disastrous flop, Battlefield 2042.
According to a report by MP1st, EA is currently making these selected individuals sign NDAs to protect Battlefield 6 from potential leaks. YouTuber DANNYonPC clarified that a content creator even posted about the playtest before the tweet was taken down.
Not much is known about these playtests, but accredited insider Tom Henderson mentions that EA has been holding smaller private Battlefield 6 tests since last summer; the conglomerate is now ready to expand to a larger scale with select players.
Anyhow, this should mean that more information and an official reveal are around the corner. Fans should expect official details in just a few more months.
For those not in the know, Battlefield 6 is rumored to feature a modern-day setting with gameplay that returns to the series’ roots. Additionally, there will be advanced destruction mechanics and 64-player maps.
On one hand, EA is extremely confident about the next Battlefield, claiming its demand is still strong and that it can outsell Call of Duty. The rumors paint a different picture, however, as 98% of developers involved have never allegedly worked on the series’ past games.
Do you think Battlefield 6 will turn out to be a much better entry in the franchise compared to the past two releases? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
