Battlefield 6 Open Beta Weekend 2 Kicks Off

The second weekend of the Battlefield 6 Open Beta is almost upon us, and gamers are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get their hands on the highly anticipated military shooter. The beta will run from August 14-17, 2025, and is open to all players across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, EA App) without a pre-order requirement [1][2][5].

In this second weekend, players can expect a wealth of new content. The Empire State map, set in Brooklyn, New York, will make its debut. This infantry-only map is similar in size to previous maps like Siege of Cairo and Iberian Offensive [3][5]. Two new modes, Rush and Squad Deathmatch, will also be introduced.

Fans of the series will be thrilled to know that classic maps such as Siege of Cairo, Liberation Peak, and Iberian Offensive, along with modes like Conquest, Breakthrough, Domination, King of the Hill, will also be available [5]. A daily playlist rotation will introduce various combinations of these modes, providing a diverse gaming experience throughout the beta weekend.

The beta offers players 72 hours to maximize their playtime and explore the new content. New skins, challenges, and rewards are up for grabs [2][3][5].

One of the major pieces of feedback from the first Open Beta weekend was the lack of a Custom Search option. EA has addressed this issue, and Custom Search will be available during Weekend 2 of the Open Beta, allowing players to choose their favourite combinations of maps and modes [5].

The Battlefield 6 Open Beta has already broken records, surpassing the participation numbers of Call of Duty's previous betas on the Steam platform [6]. The reception to Battlefield 6 and its beta has been almost unanimously positive, with many praising the game's immersive military shooter experience [7].

EA has confirmed that Battlefield 6 will not carry the $80 price point, with the standard edition having an MSRP of $69.99 [4]. However, the developers have not yet confirmed the inclusion of a server browser for Battlefield 6 [8].

With its return of iconic Battlefield classes, the addition of creative and powerful new class gadgets, advanced dynamic destruction systems, and more, Battlefield 6 has the potential to stand tall as one of, if not the, most immersive military shooter ever made [1]. The second beta weekend promises to be an exciting event, and gamers are eager to see what else Battlefield 6 has in store.
