After being delayed for about a month, Battlefield 2042 is moving its open beta from late September to early October. EA has just confirmed that Battlefield players will be able to experience a slice of what’s to come between October 8-9.

However, EA Play members and those who already pre-ordered the game will be given access to the beta two days earlier. That being said, early access will commence on October 6 and will go on for one more day, while those who did not pre-order the game and aren’t EA Play members will get access to Battlefield 2042 starting October 8.

Along with the open beta dates, EA also revealed what’s waiting players in the beta. First off, we have the Conquest mode, a massive sandbox mode is making a comeback and focuses around sectors consisting of several flags instead of individual control points.

Also, the open beta will have players fight around the site of an imminent rocket launch on the Orbital dynamic map. You’ll have to watch out for both enemy fire and upcoming storms. More importantly, EA confirmed that during the beta, players can try out four Specialists: Webster Mackay (soldier), Maria Falck (support), Pyotr “Boris” Guskovsky (engineer), and Wikus “Casper” Van Daele (recon). Each comes with their own set of abilities and setups.

As far as the PC requirements to run this Battlefield 2042 open beta, here is what EA recommends: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X or Intel Core i7 4790, 16GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 (8GB VRAM) or AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, 100GB SSD, DirectX 12 and 64-bit Windows 10.

The minimum PC requirements for the open beta Battlefield 2042 have been revealed too: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i5 6600K, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB VRAM) or AMD Radeon RX 560, 100GB HDD, DirectX 12, and 64-bit Windows 10.
