　　Now Playing: Battlefield V - Rotterdam Multiplayer Beta Gameplay

　　Gallery

　　While the beta officially starts on September 6, people who pre-ordered can already begin playing. Additionally, EA Access members on Xbox One can also jump in now, as can Origin Access members on PC (for Premier and Basic).

　　The Battlefield V open beta includes two maps--Arctic Fjord and Rotterdam--and the fan-favourite Conquest mode. Also included in the beta is the brand-new Grand Operations mode, along with a series of weapons, vehicles, and gadgets to try out. Be sure to click through the images in the gallery above to see a full rundown of what's in the beta.

　　Additionally, the open beta gives players a first look at the new "Tides of War," system, which is Battlefield V's ongoing events program. Each chapter will give players new challenges to complete to earn cosmetic gear; it sounds similar to Fortnite's seasons. In the beta, you'll get to try the Shock Troops Chapter event; successfully completing it gets you a Tides of War Beta dog tag to use in Battlefield when it launches.

　　On Xbox One, the open beta file size is 10.95 GB. Xbox Live Gold is required on Xbox One while PlayStation Plus is not needed for PS4. The minimum and recommended specs for Battlefield V's open beta on PC are available below; they do not necessarily represent the specs for the final version of the game.

　　The Battlefield V open beta ends on September 11. Also note that none of your progress from the beta will carry forward to the full game.
