EA Unveils Battlefield Labs: Your Chance to Shape the Future of Battlefield
EA has officially launched Battlefield Studios and given us our first glimpse into the next Battlefield game. To actively participate in shaping the franchise's future, you can register for Battlefield Labs and gain early access to the upcoming Battlefield title. Here's how to get involved.
What is Battlefield Labs?
Battlefield Labs is a new initiative designed to gather crucial player feedback for the development of the next Battlefield game. This program offers select fans the unique opportunity to participate in early, remote playtests and provide direct input to the developers at EA's Battlefield Studios. Think of it as a chance to be part of the war room!
EA will initially invite a few thousand players from Europe and North America, with plans to expand globally to tens of thousands in the future. Battlefield Labs will be accessible on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Battlefield Labs vs. Beta Testing: Key Differences
While EA has previously utilized beta testing for Battlefield games, Battlefield Labs operates differently. The content accessed will be work-in-progress, containing more bugs, unfinished elements, and potential technical issues than a typical beta.
EA aims to leverage Battlefield Labs participants' feedback on combat mechanics, map design, balance, and other crucial aspects to guide the development of the next Battlefield game. However, participants will be bound by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and are prohibited from publicly sharing information.
