If you're wondering about the Battlefie🍒ld 2042 open beta times a♑round the world, then you've come to the right place.

The Battlefield 2042 open beta technically began꧟ earlier this week, with pre-loads from October 5 and early access on October 6-7. Today, October 8, however, marks the beginning of a two-day open beta available to absolutely e♍veryone.

posted early this morning, DICE confirmed that "to keep things running smoothly, we'll take some time to perform essential maintenance on the servers before we switch to Open Access."

That resulted in a two-hour window of downtime before the servers opened back up again at 02:00 PT/05:00 ET/10:00 BST, meaning all players should now be able to access the game until servers close tomorrow. It's not clear whether EA and DICE plan to postpone that closure to make up for the extra couple of hours that player𒅌s missed out on this morning, but even once matchmaking goes down, you'll be able to maintain some degree of access to the game until October 10, when the beta build is taken offline.

If you're holding out for the real thing, Battlefield 2042 finally launches next month on October 19 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S.
