A post from DICE on X announces a 72-hour "pre-alpha" Battlefield Labs server test will get underway on Friday. Testing for "the future of Battlefield" will take place in Europe, North America, and "select areas of Asia." It is invite only, so those who have previously signed up should keep an eye on their inboxes. If you want in but haven't registered, word is: "If you're interested in helping us test our server performance and stability in the coming week, be sure to sign-up for Battlefield Labs now. Read our FAQ if you’d like to learn more, and join the official Battlefield Discord for the latest news and community discussion." Here's the plan:

Our primary focus for this test will be to verify server performance and stability with increased player counts throughout a full weekend. During this time we will have a select group of maps and modes available for play.

The server performance test will conclude in all regions after 72 hours, upon which game access for participants will be revoked.
