The Battlefield V Open Beta will begin on September 4 for early access and September 6 for all players on Origin for PC, Xbox One and PS4.
The Open Beta will showcase the Rotterdam map on Conquest mode as well as the Arctic Fjord map on both Conquest and Grand Operations.
Revealed just last week, the Rotterdam map will place players in a battle fought throughout the streets of Holland where the game’s dynamic physicality and destruction will be on full display.
New to the Battlefield franchise, Grand Operations is a multiplayer experience across multiple maps and modes that that takes players through a narrative journey “inspired” by historical events.
DICE also showcased NVIDIA’s new RTX technology announced during NVIDIA’s press conference with a live demo of Battlefield V on PC, one of the first games being developed on the NVIDIA RTX platform to feature real-time ray tracing as a rendering technique.
Previously used to pre-render lifelike worlds in movies, ray tracing with the NVIDIA RTX platform brings real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to video games. In Battlefield V, NVIDIA RTX allows DICE to imitate the way light is reflected in the real world enhancing the fidelity of reflective surfaces in every level, map and locale in the game.
Battlefield V will be available worldwide October 19th on Xbox One, PS4 and Origin for PC. Those that pre-order the Battlefield VDeluxe Edition on any platform will get access three days early on October 16, while Origin Access Premier members on PC will be able to play the full game on October 11th.
Origin Access Basic members on PC and EA Access members on Xbox One will also be able to jump into the Play First Trial on October 11.
