Battlefield Labs is reportedly starting its first playtest soon

According to Insider Gaming, this Battlefield Labs test is set to begin this week. The playtest is conducted jointly by EA and DICE and is expected to be the largest test for the title. As per information available, players could possibly try out the "concepts and mechanics" of the next Battlefield game on March 7, 2025.

Based on player feedback, the devs will improve the title accordingly, as mentioned by them. This test is expected to have a run time of two hours and will be exclusive to PC. Most importantly, it is expected to be executed in a closed test environment, with streaming, recording, and discussing the title strictly prohibited.

Players can join the test by signing up on Battlefield Labs – participation is by invitation only through email. Currently, thousands of players have already signed up, and the developers have assure that those who register early will have the best chance of being selected. Gamers can still register on Labs in hopes of being invited to future playtests, if such a thing happens.
