Today DICE announced the Battlefield 1 Open Beta will begin August 31st on Xbox One, PC via Origin and PS 4. Players who have signed up as a Battlefield Insider on https://www.battlefield.com/community/insider and chosen their platform before August 21st will be eligible to receive early access to the Open Beta.
The Battlefield 1 Open Beta will feature two franchise favorite modes – Conquest and Rush – on the new Sinai Desert map. Playable with up to 64 players, this map includes a new controllable Armored Train behemoth, ridable horses and three new Elite Classes – Sentry, Flame Trooper and Tank Hunter.
Since the unveiling of Battlefield 1 in May, fans have been clamoring for a taste of the all-out-war experience that the backdrop of World War 1 provides. Bring a horse to a tank fight, or rain down machine gun fire on enemy positions with the heavily armored Sentry.
Fans wanting to check out the Open Beta action before August 31st can do so by watching the Battlefield 1Squads livestream on August 16th at http://www.twitch.tv/battlefield or by coming to play the game this week at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
