EA Unveils Battlefield 6 Battle Royale as Invite-Only Labs Testing Begins This Week

Built around Battlefield’s classes, vehicles, tactical destruction, the test showcases an instant‑kill ring to force decisive fights.

The Battle Royale test will be under NDA, but it shouldn't be too long before we see more from it.

Overview

  • Battlefield Labs will host the first playtests this week with invite-only signups under NDA.
  • A bespoke map supports 100 players as 25 four-person squads in each match.
  • The shrinking ring kills on contact, eliminating edge-play survival strategies common in other BRs.
  • Players lock in a class for the match, start with two class gadgets, earn XP to unlock traits, and complete missions for rewards like vehicle keys or Mobile Redeploy.
  • Vehicles, extensive destruction and five-tier loot headline the sandbox, while EA has not confirmed whether the mode will launch standalone or free-to-play.
