You can't access the BF6 open beta while queues are full, and will have to wait in the queue

If the Battlefield 6 game servers are full for you, that's because the BF6 open beta is proving incredibly popular even now, with hundreds of thousands of people trying to access the Battlefield 6 beta at the earliest moment possible. The beta queue is definitely likely to get worse before it gets better, and we don't doubt that there'll be no shortage of people trying to work out ways to skip it in Battlefield 6, but there really isn't any way of doing that at time of writing.

We'll explain in further detail below, as well as using this page for any other server issues or error codes that come up in Battlefield 6, so you'll have a place to find fixes for any other problems that arise within the game.

Can you fix the Battlefield 6 beta game servers full and queue error?

If the Battlefield 6 game servers are full and you're placed into a queue to get into the beta, there really is nothing you can do about that except wait for however long it takes to get in. This isn't really an error or glitch, it's simply a matter of BF6's servers straining under the capacity of so many players, and restraining the number of players accordingly. However, it is only a queue: if you wait, you'll be able to play.

Depending on the number of players ahead of you, the queue might take a few minutes or the best part of an hour. When I tried to log in there were roughly a quarter of a million players ahead of me in the server queue, which took roughly twenty minutes before I could get into the main menu. Keep in mind though that this problem is likely to get worse at the weekend when more players will have access to the fully Open Beta, as explained in the Battlefield 6 beta times guide we've written.
