PC beta is broken. Says you need to pre-order or be EA Play. I have EA Play through GamePass.

 

[Mr.ODST]

I'm going to assume that I could just pre-order on steam (for early beta access) and if I don't enjoy the gameplay I could just refund, right?

(I'm off work this week and 4 days of Battlefield could be very sexy)

On the page it says to request access to play Open Beta ... just click Request and I got accepted in 1 second.

Yeah, apparently it can be found A-OK through Origin, but EA Play is borked, lmao. I installed EA Play and uninstalled Origin as soon as I could. But I just checked when I logged in Origin via their site, and everything showed up in my Games Library as intended. Hopefully they get it squared away soonly.

You can preorder from Amazon get your code then cancel

Or head to Gamestop put down $5 they print you a code then can cancel that as well

No. I installed it fine via EA Play. When you launch the game it won't let you play. It says you have to pre-order to be a member of EA Play.

Says the same thing for everyone since its not up yet

 

[nightmare-slain]

do i need to install origin if i want to get it through Steam?

 

[whyman]

Where you from bud and what platform?

Being dirt poor this month I will humbly just ask in case you have one more? Sweden and PC or PlayStation.

I believe so.

I've had no luck with EU Codes atm sadly, still waiting on the two UK codes from Amazon, if anything changes you'll be the first to know dude!

 

[Marvel]

Hype is rising.

Ah yes, that as well. I was just referring to it not appearing as it should for those that have preordered it, or are Game Pass members. At the moment the predownload just appears as it does for everyone else that doesn't have "Early Access." Hence the "Ay you should preorder this."

I'm sure it'll be fixed by tomorrow, but it's still lol.

Man, I hope this is good. Ugh.

 

[JMZ555]

I pre-ordered on Amazon last night but no code yet. Does it matter where i pre-load? Origin, steam etc? or does the code work on both?

 

[nightmare-slain]

amazon might have a delay before they send the code out. you used to be able to pre order games to get instant code and cancel.

if you've ordered from amazon then it's likely you'll need to use origin. i don't think amazon would sell a steam key for the game.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Buhaj]

If I preorder through PSN and play the open beta, can I get a refund before release?

 

[balt1kr1s]

Client downloaed, early access ready.

Bring it tomorrow baby!

 

[Artistic]

Is the beta available for pre-load on consoles?

 

[Jonty De Wolfe]

Downloading now on Origin, really hope its good as need something to scratch my FPS itch.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

It is on Xbox havent checked PS

 

[Artistic]

It is on Xbox havent checked PS

Which one is the Series X/S version. I see two options available for the open beta under Game Demos.

EDIT: Just chose the one with the higher file size lol.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I am actually envious of the people looking forward to this, I become less interested the more they show of the title.

You should see Forza H5, They seem to be showing more off months before release with all the live streams they've been doing.

It says the same thing on PS5, probably just because the servers aren’t up yet. The game doesn’t go live until I think 2 AM eastern tonight.

 

[HTK]

I want to play the beta to determine if I want to buy the game but they want me to buy the game to try the beta.

Yeah the 20gb is the one I picked

Just wait until Friday.

Been playing Battlefield since Bad Company, haven't been disappointed in one yet(didn't play V).

BF4 is my most played game on PS4, that had a really rough start but my god was it amazing after all the patches and DLC. After playing Vanguard and Halo beta's I really need BF2042 to deliver.

 

[Javthusiast]

Downloading it now. Thanks game pass.

[Thedtrain]

[Starfield]

read the thread title mate

 

[[Sigma]]

Been downloading the PS5 version. Once that's finished, i'll download the PS4 version as well.

 

[Starfield]

read the thread title mate

nah i mean is there a specific time

 

[R6Rider]

I have it pre-loaded on PS5. Since I'll be busy this weekend, I can only play on the early beta access days oddly enough.

 

[Subterranean]

nah i mean is there a specific time

General access to the open beta will begin on October 8 at 12am PDT / 3am EDT / 8am BST on all platforms, and concludes on October 9. If you’ve pre-ordered the game, or you’re a member of the EA Play subscription service, you’ll be able to get in starting October 6 at 12am PDT / 3am EDT / 8am BST.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Let's see how well it will run on my sub-minimum-specs PC.

My 1660Ti is ready to disappoint or overheat.

 

[manfestival]

This is just early access. Almost every company these days are doing this as a preorder benefit. There is still the open beta that you can wait for without preordering the game and you can get the same experience there. I did this recently with COD Vanguard and Diablo 2 Resurrected.

 

[MadchesterManc]

Probably download on PS5 later, that 79p one month offer for EA Play has been well spent. May as well give it a go on PC too

 

[MikeM]

Downloaded onto my Series X. Thanks GamePass!

 

[Death Atlas]

If anyone happens to have a code they'd like to share, I'd truly appreciate it. I tend to steer clear of pre-ordering games, despite being extremely excited for this game.
I play on PC if that's relevant.

 

[Kupfer]

My 1660Ti is ready to disappoint or overheat.

Same for my i7 3770 from 2012

 

[RNG]

Downloaded the Beta. Now we wait.

 

[Rossco EZ]

how are you guys getting the download to work? i have gpu and found the beta on xbox store but won’t let me download?

nvm found it

 

[Mr.ODST]

BTW if your an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member I think you get the Early access because its tied to EA Play.

Not sure though....

 

[HellforLeather]

I cant even preorderr this game. Amazon keeps coming up with the message saying "This item cannot ship to your location" wtf?

 

[Droxcy]

Chatted with Amazon support about PC beta codes they had no idea anyone get theirs?

 

[ResilientBanana]

I now have the Beta.

 

[PandemiaPorcina]

Im less optimistic about this game now, zero showing up until this beta now and that's a month before game releases.

You must not have friends to play with
