Battlefield V for PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC is the latest entry in the long-running military shooter franchise that sees the series go back to its roots of a World War 2 setting. Like most big budget games, Battlefield V will have a beta before its official release. Dubbed as the Battlefield V open beta, it promises to give us a taste of the game's multiplayer before the newly-announced Battlefield V release date of November 20. Here's what you need to know.

How to play the Battlefield V open beta early

You can play the Battlefield V open beta on September 4, two days before everyone else if you pre-order the game. And if ponying up Rs. 4,499 for a physical copy or Rs.3,500 for a digital copy of Battlefield V ahead of launch seems a bit much, you can get access to it early if you're a subscriber of EA Access on Xbox One. If you're gaming on the PC, a subscription to either Origin Access or Origin Access Premier will let you play the Battlefield V open beta early.

Battlefield V open beta preload date and time

According to EA, the Battlefield V open beta preload date is September 3 at 1:30pm IST.

Battlefield V open beta - PS Plus and Xbox Live Gold requirements
The Battlefield V open beta will not need PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) for PS4 but will need an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play it.

Battlefield V open beta PC system requirements

If the Battlefield V open beta PC minimum and recommended specifications seem familiar, it's because they're identical to 2016's Battlefield 1. So if you're able to play that game fine, you're set for the Battlefield V open beta on PC.
