When Does Battlefield 6 Open Beta Weekend 2 Start?
Weekend 2 runs from August 14th to August 17th, 2025. It started at 8:00 AM UTC today. You don’t need to buy the game first. Just download it from the Battlefield 6 website.
What’s New This Weekend in Battlefield 6 Open Beta?
These are the new things coming in the second Open Beta weekend:
Custom Search Feature
The biggest new thing is Custom Search. You can pick what map and game mode you want to play, and the game will try to put you in those matches first. Right now, it only works with Open Weapon playlists, but it’s way better than random matchmaking.
New Map and Game Modes
There’s a brand new map called Empire State that you can play on. Plus, they added more game modes like Rush, Squad Deathmatch, and special Closed Quarter versions of Conquest and Breakthrough. All the maps from last weekend are still here, too, like Siege of Cairo and Liberation Peak.

What Happens After the Open Beta?
