So do game pass folks get early access since EA access is included with GP?

The new countdown begins. Guess them saving something for GAMESCOM was true. The teases are too much.

There it is. Was expecting it during the show, but good they put the date out there. I got EA Play Pro so I'll be there on the 4th, can't wait.

Meh. Was hoping it would be earlier than the month before release.

Gonna try it regardless. Hope the beta map is a good one.

so if I bought a code for 2042 on cdkeys, and they say they dont send the code till release day, does this mean no early access for pre ordering?

Battlefield beta tests are usually always "marketing betas," a small handful of big fixes and a smattering of small fixes usually result from them but for the most part, they're usually more akin to demos.

I will not pre-order but I would like to try the Beta and I have GamePass Ultimate. Can I be part of the "open" Beta via GPU or even have the 10 hours free trial once the game releases because of EA Play?

I am pretty sure the answer is sadly no. Hopefully someone can correct me if I am wrong though, but I am pretty sure you cannot.


Edit: I think I am wrong as you can get basic ea access with Ultimate. That should give you access to the "open" beta

Since they don't link back to a source, the date was either posted in error, or someone faked it. The FAQ page does not mention this, and AFAIK, the only mention of September (but no specific day) being when the beta takes place comes from the press release sent after the Portal reveal.

I was hoping for early August, I guess early September isn't too bad. I can't wait to try it out though.

Anyone not sure about receiving a code with their existing order, should just preorder on Amazon, get the beta code in September and cancel. Any duplicates, just give to friends or do a giveaway in the eventual beta thread.

Speaking of duplicates, do these BF beta codes usually come with friend codes too?

I fear that my 8600k CPU won't be able to handle 2042, I hope my fear is unfounded but thankfully with the beta I can test it I guess.

So this is game going to support RT?

I don't really care about the RT considering the focus on high fps, but usually Dice like to push new tech like with BFV and Nvidia have already announced DLSS/Reflex support, but no mention of RT.
