Six playtest sessions will be available between August 12 and August 15, five lasting for three hours and the other one for nine hours, according to email invites distributed by
EA and viewed by VGC.
The technical playtests were originally scheduled to take place in July but were delayed to give DICE the opportunity to test the game’s
recently announced cross-play functionality.
Testing will accommodate “a few thousand participants” ahead of wider testing in an
open beta scheduled for September.
Players interested in taking part in the technical tests, which will only be available on
PC,
PS5 and
Xbox Series X/S, are advised to register for
EA Playtesting, although this will not guarantee access.
