"Battlefield 6 Open Beta Conclusion: Here's When Weekend 2 Kicks Off and What to Anticipate"
The second open beta weekend for Battlefield 6 is upon us, starting on Thursday, August 14, 2025 at 8:00 UTC (1:00 AM Pacific Time) and running through Monday, August 17 or August 18 (depending on the source). This exciting event offers players a chance to delve into the game before its full release in October 2025.
The weekend will be accessible to all players, featuring new maps and modes, including the classic Rush mode and the infantry-only Empire State map set in the streets of Brooklyn, NY[2][4]. The action-packed gameplay is faster than Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6, but not as fast as its omnimovement system.
The new map, Empire State, was enjoyed by many, with its three distinct maps providing a variety of experiences. However, the author found themselves playing Liberation Peak less frequently[6]. The gameplay, reminiscent of Battlefield 3, offers a solid feel across all guns.
Rush is a mode where attackers and defenders battle for control of a series of Military Communication systems. Attackers plant explosives, while defenders try to diffuse them[7]. The variety between classes and their abilities was also appreciated.
However, the author found the menus confusing and hard to navigate[3]. Additionally, a minor bug was experienced where the author's gun and arms disappeared during gameplay.
The first open beta has concluded, but there may be tuning between betas, including possible changes to classes and class abilities[8]. Furthermore, additional maps and modes may be added as bonuses in Weekend 2.
The author encourages readers to share their thoughts on Battlefield 6 on various social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Bluesky, or Facebook. They also invite you to subscribe to their YouTube channel and follow them on this blog for more updates.
After the second beta weekend, most fixes and updates are expected to take place in the lead-up to the game's launch[9]. So, gear up and get ready for an action-packed weekend!
