New Battlefield 6 playtest will focus on server browser and Portal content

You may have thought that testing for Battlefield 6 had ended with the open beta a few weeks ago, but it turns out, EA still has more rounds of playtests on the way. Those who have signed up for Battlefield Labs are being called upon once again, this time to test out new Portal features, as well as an early version of the Server Browser – a highly requested feature following the open beta. 

The next Battlefield Labs playtest will take place tonight for two hours – 7PM to 9PM CEST. As usual with Battlefield Labs, this is a closed test, so you will have to sign up and await an invite to get in. If you've already participated in a Battlefield Labs test, then you will automatically be enrolled in this one.

Initially, Battlefield 6 was not going to include a full server browser, a change from the tradition of past games. However, after fans made a strong case for the feature's inclusion, the development team began getting to work. This test will include a limited version of the Server Browser, trialled within the Portal, a community-focused game mode for custom matches and maps.

This playtest will also focus on the new player-hosted server feature, and new balance updates for weapons, vehicles and gadgets. Finally, Hardcore mode will also be tested during this session.

Battlefield 6 will launch for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on the 10th of October.

KitGuru Says: It is great to see the team focusing on the server browser so quickly. It is unclear if it will be ready for launch, but feedback from this test will likely go towards deciding whether or not it will be ready to ship.
