As you may have already realized, we’re having a blast with the Battlefield 6 beta so far, and apparently so have countless other first-person-shooter enthusiasts across Xbox, PC and PS5. Today we’re dropping a quick heads-up: the second—and final—BF6 beta phase is already underway, now packing some brand-new goodies that weren’t in round one.
You read that right—Battlefield 6 beta weekend number two is live on Xbox Series X|S, and it carries over every ounce of action from last weekend. On top of that, EA along with Battlefield Studios have thrown in an additional map, a few freshly minted modes, and more—check the image below for the specifics. Bonus news: the beta is now accessible to every single Xbox user—no Game Pass membership necessary!
Honestly, after sinking so many hours into BF6 last weekend, we toyed with the idea of sitting this round out—but we’re still itching to try the extra map. The New York-inspired ‘Empire State’ battlefield looks like a romp; it’s already popped up in tons of marketing.
For the full rundown—including beta rewards that carry into the final release—glance over our comprehensive BF6 beta walkthrough. We’ve also embedded our weekend-one impressions so you can decide if hopping back into BF6 for the next few days is worth your time.
