Gamers seemed exultant since the game would finally give them an alternative to Call of Duty. And thus, the gameplay trailer was greeted with explosive exultance. And Battlefield 2042 suddenly found itself having become one of the most awaited video games releasing this year.

Before the game comes out, there’ll also be Alpha and Beta tests that the game will go through. And also, a handful of people will get the chance to participate in these tests. Needless to say, DICE will try to keep things on the hush-hush.

And again, DICE does not want information about their exciting upcoming release to get out. This means that the chosen few, who will get to participate in the alpha matches, will most likely not find out anything about what the world (in the game) looks like. Most textures will be censored. But then again, video game information leaking right before the release of a game is not completely unheard of.

Battlefield 2042: beta test

No dates for the beta test for Battlefield 2042 have been announced so far. But rest assured, for it will surely happen before October. But it is unlikely to be July since July is already getting the Alpha test. And there’s more good news about the beta test! The test will be inclusive of all major platforms. Meaning, the test will be available on both current-generation Xbox consoles X and S as well as Xbox One consoles. Sony’s PlayStation also gets similar treatment, and players with either a PS5 or PS4 can participate. And it goes without saying that PC players will also get to be part of the beta test.
