Starting today, Battlefield 1 will be available for all PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users to play via an open beta phase. While the in-game content like weapons and map will be the same across all platforms, there is one particular thing that makes beta version of the upcoming World War 1 shooter slightly more special on Sony’s eighth generation video game console. Yep, PlayStation 4 players can enjoy the game even if they are not PlayStation Plus subscribers. Xbox One players, however, have to be Xbox Live Gold members to enter the battleground.
You do not need a PS Plus account to play the Battlefield 1 Open Beta on PlayStation 4.
