EA has finally unveiled Battlefield Studios and given us our first glimpse into the next installment of the *Battlefield* series. To play a pivotal role in shaping the franchise's future, you can join Battlefield Labs and secure early access to *Battlefield 6*. Here's your guide to getting involved.
What is Battlefield Labs?
EA is tapping into the community's insights for the next *Battlefield* game through Battlefield Labs. This innovative program invites a select group of fans to "step inside the war room," offering them the chance to participate in early remote playtests and provide crucial feedback to the developers at EA's Battlefield Studios.
Initially, the program will launch with a few thousand players in Europe and North America, with ambitions to grow to tens of thousands and expand to other regions. Battlefield Labs will be accessible on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Is Battlefield Labs Different Than a Beta? Answered
Unlike the traditional Betas EA has hosted for previous *Battlefield* titles, Battlefield Labs offers a unique experience. Participants will encounter work-in-progress content, which may include more bugs, rough edges, and technical issues than typically seen in a Beta.
The aim is for Battlefield Labs members to provide essential feedback on elements such as the combat loop, map flow, and balance, directly influencing the development trajectory of the upcoming *Battlefield* game. However, participants are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and must refrain from sharing any information publicly.
How to Sign Up for Battlefield Labs and Play *Battlefield 6* Early Access

Here, you'll find detailed information about the program and the opportunity to sign up. You'll need to log in or create an EA account, link it with your preferred gaming platform, and then sign in.
