To get a Battlefield game, specifically Battlefield 6 which is the latest release, here are the main ways you can access it:
- Get Early Access Beta Codes for Battlefield 6 by watching approved Twitch streamers playing the Battlefield 6 beta. You need to link your EA and Twitch accounts. After watching about 30 minutes, you can receive a beta key via Twitch drops. Redeem the code on EA's website to get access to the beta. This was how early access was distributed before the open beta started around August 7, 2025.
- Preload the game from your platform's store (Steam, EA app, Epic Games Store) starting August 4, 2025, to be ready for the beta.
- The open beta is free and available for everyone on multiple platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Steam, and Epic Games Store on specific beta weekends (Aug 9-10 and Aug 14-17, 2025). This means you can download and play the open beta without any code during these weekends.
- For full access to the released Battlefield 6 game, you can purchase it on digital storefronts like Steam, EA app, or console stores once it releases on October 10, 2025.
If you want to get the beta now or join upcoming open beta weekends:
- Link your Twitch and EA accounts and watch BF6 streams for Twitch drops codes.
- Redeem codes on EA’s site.
- Preload the game early from your platform’s store.
- Simply download and play during open beta weekends without codes.
For other Battlefield titles, Steam and EA app (formerly Origin) are the usual platforms to purchase and play the games. Some titles may require the EA launcher to play. This process is currently relevant for Battlefield 6 as of August 2025.
