Given the huge amount of people trying to play Battlefield 6's open beta, the servers are struggling somewhat. Some players have reported matchmaking issues, and the developers say players can restart the game client to help improve things. Battlefield 6's open beta is using server queues to help mitigate demand, with Battlefield Studios announcing it is working on a "substantial increase in server capacity" to help meet demand.

Is it open for everyone, or are there some some limit?
The beta is currently in early access. It's not hard to get early access but it's still not "everyone".

I'm curious to see what the regular dates look like.

It's currently at ~320K but I think it's late in Europe and only 10am on the east coast.
 
No preorders. Will wait and if it's good probably buy it a month(s) after the launch.

I got seriously good nostalgic BF3&4 vibes from this.

Nah I'm good. I've been having a blast and can only see this getting better on launch. Maps are BC2 with gameplay like BF3/4. Insta buy

i downloaded it but i have no idea how to actually play it. . says i need early access? i thought this was an open beta :messenger_neutral:
 
Oh look, you release a non abomination with a BF skin, and people are playing a battlefield game. How strange. The success BF6 is guaranteed to have could have already been a thing when BF2042 was released if EA weren't a bunch of braindead tards.
 
C'mon that's petty bro.

After this early access marketing bullshit the beta will be open.
Then its not open... until its open.

I downloaded the shit today thinking i could play it today, only to find out its for early access only. it an open beta when ANYONE can play it.

How does one get a key?
 
Would love to play it (the game, not the beta( but there just is no way i'm paying 70$ up front to play a multiplayer game

Yeah Im waiting for the real open beta to start. Got the beta downloaded on both pc and ps5 pro. In the meantime going to plough through a new Mafia game.

Either by "watching" a Twitch stream with drops for 30 minutes (you can obviously just mute it and go do something) or if you signed up for labs prior to 7/31 you automatically get the early access.

Starting 8/9 (9/8 for the Europeans) it's just 100% open to everyone.

It looks like playing right now is kinda pointless. Everyone is crashing, and then you're in a 200k+ q for an hour.
I've played 5 hours so far between PC and PS5 Pro and I've never experienced a single crash or a queue longer than like a minute. When I took a break and went back it told me there was like a 5K queue twice but it went away in less then 60 seconds.
 
Yeah there was a queue for an hour at launch like I said.

Its been fine all day.

I got a code for the beta on a stream, and after checking the vod, i didn't even want to bother downloading it because of the q. But if its playable now, i guess i should just download it.

Liek i said its been playable all day.

I know because ive been playing it all day. Its fun, jump on.

Might be some queue tonight mind as Europeans finish work and the US joins the action.
 
smooth as fuck... I remember the good old days of BF3 and BF4 with huge rubber banding for weeks happening randomly mid game... plus 30Hz servers... fuck... so far, good job really
It seems like Zampella really did the good shit for the IP. I've heard people say that he is a good leader, and this is a prime example of this being the case, especially after BF2042.
 
Ya its def the best bf since 1. 334k doesnt mean shit in a free game. Well see when it launches, probably to half which is still decent
