The first Battlefield Labs playtest will start this week, As reported by Insider Gaming

Insider Gaming has learned that Battlefield Labs will have its first playtest to test “concepts and mechanics” on Friday March 7th. The playtest will be the first in EA’s new Battlefield Labs program, which was announced earlier this year. The first test is scheduled to take place for approximately two hours on the PC.

Battlefield Labs is a creative and experimental initiative from DICE, the developer behind the Battlefield series. It’s essentially a platform or a space where the developers experiment with new gameplay mechanics, features, and ideas for the Battlefield series, often in the form of limited-time modes, experimental features, or community feedback-driven testing.

The goal of Battlefield Labs is to test new concepts in a live environment, engaging players and gathering valuable insights and feedback that can help shape the future of the franchise. It allows DICE to try out bold, innovative, or unconventional ideas without committing them to the main game right away. Through this, Battlefield players can get a taste of what could be coming to the series in future updates or titles.

The playtest comes as DICE and EA want to work more closely with the community after Battlefield 2042’s fumbled launch, which was poorly received by the community.

The next Battlefield title is scheduled to release later this year on the Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, and PC.
