EA finally officially confirmed the dates for the upcoming Battlefield 2042 open beta, but will it actually be truly 100 percent open on consoles? Well, apparently it will be on PlayStation, as it participating in the beta won’t require a subscription to PlayStation Plus. Unfortunately, this won’t be the case on Microsoft consoles, as you’ll need to be signed up for Xbox Live Gold to get in on the action. This is all laid out in a recently updated Battlefield 2042 FAQ…

The Battlefield 2042 Open Beta is available to play on PC (via Origin, EA app, Steam, and Epic) and console (PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S). Please note, PlayStation Plus is not needed to participate in the Open Beta, however, if you're playing on Xbox you will need to be an Xbox Live Gold subscriber.
