EA unveils last chance to get into the Battlefield 6 early access for free

The Battlefield 6 beta is only a matter of hours away, and EA has thrown the public one last bone to unlock early access.

The Battlefield 6 beta begins on August 7 for those who have received an early access code, and for those who haven't, the open beta begins on the weekend of August 9. If you want to get into Battlefield 6 on August 7, you will need an early access code, and to acquire one of them, EA is advising you to watch 30 minutes of any creator streaming Battlefield 6 on Twitch. To acquire a code, previously players had to sign up to Battlefield Labs before July 31, or watch streamers during last week's multiplayer reveal event.

However, that has now changed as a new post on the official Battlefield X account has said anyone with a Twitch account can just open up a stream from any creator streaming Battlefield 6, leave the stream open for 30 minutes, even on mute, and then they will receive a code. Additionally, once a code has been received, it will need to be redeemed via the EA website, where you will need to sign into an EA account and link the code to your preferred platform.
