EA Unveils Battlefield Labs: Your Chance to Shape the Future of Battlefield
EA has launched Battlefield Labs, offering players a unique opportunity to influence the development of the next Battlefield game. This program provides early access to pre-release content and allows selected participants to directly impact the game's design. Here's how to participate.
What is Battlefield Labs?
Battlefield Labs is a new initiative allowing select players to engage in early, remote playtests. Participants will provide valuable feedback on various aspects of the game, including combat mechanics, map design, and balance. EA plans to initially include a few thousand players from Europe and North America, with future expansion to other regions and a much larger player base. The program will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Battlefield Labs vs. Beta Testing: Key Differences
Unlike traditional beta tests, Battlefield Labs offers access to work-in-progress builds. Expect a higher frequency of bugs and unfinished elements compared to a typical beta. EA seeks unfiltered feedback on the core gameplay loop to shape the game's direction. Participation requires signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), preventing public sharing of information.
