E A's DICE studio has blown the lid off the multiplayer for its upcoming military shooter Battlefield 6, and you can join the fray today. Battlefield 6's first public beta is live right now for everyone and will be available on two consecutive weekends. It's not too late to join in, and here's how.

The Battlefield 6 open beta eclipsed 500,000 peak concurrent users on Steam, surging past Call of Duty's own record. Despite the beta being offline, more than 3,000 people are currently in the game on Steam.

The popular war saga returns this August with a new open beta that aims to surpass the first in terms of player numbers.
