EA Dice’s Battlefield 2042 is currently undergoing a closed playtest, and some players have posted gameplay footage online.
The playtest is live for short periods this weekend, and a few thousand players on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 have been invited to play. The playtest comes with a confidentiality agreement stating that content should not be shared or streamed, but some players have ignored this and have posted footage online.
The footage (which we will not share here) shows some of the content being tested and gives a glimpse into the gameplay. An open beta is coming in September, which will allow more players to get hands-on with the game and test it for themselves.
VGC shared the specifications for the Battlefield 2042 Playtest and show what the current build of the game recommends. However, these are unlikely to represent the final game’s specs, as optimisations are likely between now and release.
