How to sign up for Battlefield Labs

Battlefield Labs is a community development collaboration from EA and the collective Battlefield Studios teams, which will give players the opportunity to help influence the future of the Battlefield series directly through playtesting and feedback. By going hands-on with fresh concepts that are currently in development, players can provide their thoughts to steer what content gets expanded further or cut out completely.

Interest in Battlefield Labs has increased recently as players look up how to access the Battlefield 6 beta, because those who signed up before July 31 automatically get early access to the open beta. While that deadline has now passed so it isn't possible to retrospectively claim that perk, it's still worth signing up so you'll be eligible for any future rewards. With that in mind, here's how to sign up for Battlefield Labs.

Sign up For Battlefield Labs now

To sign up for Battlefield Labs, you need to follow this sign up link and log in with your EA account details, before being taken to the next stage of the registration process. Initially there was a virtual queuing system in place with tens of thousands of players trying to sign up, but now the rush has died down you should be able to move on to registration immediately.

Note that registering will not guarantee access to Battlefield Labs, as EA have said that "Initial invites will be limited to a few thousand participants with servers located in Europe and North America. Over time we'll invite tens of thousands more with support for further territories."

What is Battlefield Labs?

Battlefield Labs is a new initiative from the collective Battlefield Studios teams working on the next title in the series, to test fresh ideas and experiences with players so they can be worked on and refined before release. Under a non-disclosure agreement, those players selected to participate will playtest and feedback on all elements of gameplay, starting with core combat and destruction before moving on to vehicles, weapons, maps, game modes, and even iconic elements such as the class system.

For now, the best place to stay up to date with everything is to join the official Battlefield Discord, where much more information and work-in-progress updates will be posted.
