in November, but

able to try it out
early.

3. EA’s hotly anticipated
Battlefield 2042 will be open to
play within a week – but there’s
a catch.
The next edition of the series will be open for beta testing from
October 6 for those who have pre-ordered the game on Xbox,
PlayStation or PC.
That is the earliest access for the two stages of open beta.
It also means that any Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members will be
able to jump in, and the service includes EA Play within the
subscription.

5. If you haven’t got access to EA Play
(or Game Pass Ultimate), then your
best bet is pre-ordering the game.
Once you’ve pre-ordered the game, you’ll receive a
code to for the early access beta.
In a statement, Battlefield 2042 said the beta will be
much the same as a full version which is expected to be
released on November 19.

7. “During the open beta our intent is to provide you
with the kind of experience where you can focus
on enjoying the sandbox,” it said.
“That means that we’ve made some adjustments to
systems and features you’ll otherwise encounter in
the full game, so you’ll find that we’ve pre-unlocked a
wide selection of hardware (weapons, vehicles and
gadgets) for you, and let you make the most of the
time you’ll have with the open beta.”

8. In Australia, the game is expected to retail for
around $82.
