EA has finally unveiled Battlefield Studios and given us our first glimpse at the upcoming *Battlefield* game. To help shape the future of this iconic franchise, you can join Battlefield Labs and secure early access to *Battlefield 6*. Here's how you can get involved.
What is Battlefield Labs?
To gather essential feedback for the next *Battlefield* game, EA is launching Battlefield Labs, a new initiative that allows a select group of fans to "step inside the war room." Participants in the Battlefield Labs program will have the chance to engage in early remote playtests and provide crucial feedback to the developers at EA's Battlefield Studios.
Initially, the program will start with a few thousand players in Europe and North America, with plans to expand to other regions and include tens of thousands of players in the future. Battlefield Labs will be accessible on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Is Battlefield Labs Different Than a Beta? Answered
Unlike the traditional Betas that EA has offered for previous *Battlefield* titles, Battlefield Labs operates differently. Participants will access work-in-progress content, which may include more bugs, rough edges, and technical issues than what you'd typically find in a Beta.
The goal of Battlefield Labs is to gather vital feedback on elements like the combat loop, map flow, and balance to help steer the development of the upcoming *Battlefield* game. However, participants must adhere to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and are not allowed to share information publicly.
