At long last, EA has unveiled Battlefield Labs, offering a sneak peek at the next Battlefield game. To help shape the future of the franchise, you can sign up for Battlefield Labs and gain early access to the upcoming title. Here's how to get involved.
What is Battlefield Labs?
EA's Battlefield Labs program invites players to actively participate in shaping the next Battlefield game. Selected fans will gain exclusive access to early, remote playtests, providing invaluable feedback directly to the developers at EA's Battlefield Studios. Think of it as a direct line to the war room!
Initially, a few thousand players in Europe and North America will be selected, with plans to expand globally to tens of thousands in the future. Battlefield Labs will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Is Battlefield Labs Different Than a Beta?
While EA has previously run betas, Battlefield Labs operates differently. The content will be work-in-progress, featuring more bugs and rough edges than a typical beta. This is intentional; EA seeks feedback on core gameplay elements like combat loops, map flow, and balance. Participants will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and cannot publicly share information.
How to Sign Up for Battlefield Labs and Play Early
Visit the Battlefield Labs webpage to learn more and sign up. You'll need to log in or create an EA account, link it to your preferred platform, and then complete the registration. Be aware that you may enter a queue; you'll have 15 minutes to access the website once your turn arrives, so keep an eye on that tab!
After accessing the sign-up, fill out the required information and provide your email address. Check your inbox regularly for updates from the official Battlefield Labs newsletter, including playtest invitations if selected.
EA has announced the next Battlefield game will launch in FY26 (before April 1, 2026).
