Battlefield 6's open beta is the first great opportunity to test out the upcoming launch, and you can do so in a pack.
While there are dedicated servers that allow you to matchmake, you can also form a lobby with your friends. Just like the full version, the open beta also offers crossplay that will enable you to co-op with your friends and try out the available game modes.
With the beta already available on early access prior to the weekend of Aug. 9 to 10, let's find out how you can play with your friends.
How to play Battlefield 6 with friends?
The exact process of forming a lobby in Battlefield 6 depends on whether all of you are on the same platform. For simplicity's sake, let's assume that all of you're on different platforms. If that's the case, crossplay must be turned on for all of you. There are a few additional steps to complete along with that.
- Go to your EA account.
- Go to "Connected Accounts."
- Make sure to link all possible platforms you have with your EA account.
- Once you authorize, all the accounts will be linked and connected. This allows you to play with your friends on different platforms.
The next step is to invite your friends to your lobby and play together. Once the home screen, you'll find the Lobby option on the left side of your screen. Click on it, and you'll get the chance to invite your friends. If you've linked your accounts properly, you can invite friends on the same/different platforms. As long as they're online, you'll be able to send them an invite.
Similarly, you can also join their lobby and play together. Once you've set up your party, proceed to choose the mode you'll want to play. That's pretty much all you need to do to play with your friends. If you're trying before Aug. 9, you'll need early access.
From Aug. 9, there's no need for an early access code as the open beta is available for all by default.
