Battlefield - Open Beta Week 2 Playlist Options
Your participation in Battlefield 6's first Open Beta weekend across PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series X|S made it a truly unforgettable experience for the team. We're thrilled by your feedback, and are focusing on making the October 10th launch even better.
Looking back on the first Open Beta weekend, we wanted to share a few learnings and changes we're making for playlists before we kick things off with Open Beta Weekend 2 on Thursday.
Playlists Adjustments
During Week 2, we're delivering more variety and choice for how you’d like to play with more playlists rotating between multiple different game modes. As an example, the All-Out Warfare playlist will include both Breakthrough, Conquest, and Rush. The in-game descriptions for each mode will tell you which modes are included in the rotation.
Rotating through multiple modes within playlists helps create the all-out-war experience of Battlefield in a single rotation while also helping us understand what our community enjoys as fan-favorite options as we shape the launch experience.
Custom Search Options
Based on your previous feedback and to give you more control over map and mode selection, we're introducing a new feature called Custom Search.
This feature allows you to choose your favorite combinations of maps and modes. For example, if you want to play Conquest on Siege of Cairo, then matchmaking will prioritize putting you in a match with this combo, if available. Note that this is not a Server Browser (which is not being tested this week).
During Open Beta, Custom Search will be available for Open Weapon mode playlists so you can mix and match maps and modes as you prefer.
Weekend 2 Playlists Overview
Here is an overview of what the Open Beta Weekend 2 options will look like as mix of specific modes and combined playlists:

Rotating through playlists daily is specific for the Open Beta while we're still able to test and gather feedback, and is not planned for launch. All modes will remain available for play throughout the weekend.
Other details to note:
Training Grounds will continue to offer the Firing Range and gameplay introductions for classes, Breakthrough, and Conquest.
Players at career rank 15 and below can access Initiation Mode, which includes AI Soldiers. This initiation experience is tailored for new players and will shift from Breakthrough to Conquest. Separately, there will be a non-playable introduction to Rush as well.
Thank you for your feedback and enthusiasm over this weekend. We look forward to seeing how these playlist options work in the matchmaking and the flexibility they offer.
We’re looking forward to seeing you on the Battlefield again, starting <t:1755158400:F>
