According to reports, even though Electronic Arts is still taking to various outlets online through places such asTwitterto promoteBattlefield 1’s EA and Origin Access trials as launching tomorrow, members of the services can begin to download it and play now. As of writing, the publisher has yet to acknowledge the fact that fans the world over are currently taking part in the trial a day earlier than originally anticipated.
For those unaware, the Play First Trial forBattlefield 1was announced last month and is not only time-restricted, but also it’s content is a limited selection of the full game, as opposed to what fans would normally receive with EA Access. Members taking part will get 10 hours with a version ofBattlefield 1that has two missions fromthe single player campaign— Storm of Steel and Through Mud and Blood — as well as four modes and five maps for multiplayer. Although the limitations will surely disappoint some fans, at least they can take solace in the fact that any progress made during the trial will carry over to the full game once its officialrelease datehits next week.
Should Access members not use all of their playtime by October 18, they will be granted the ability to take part in everything the game has to offer by using their remaining time. Not to mention, using up all 10 hours ofBattlefield 1’s trial time prior to October 20 will get those players a free Battlepack for use in the game when it comes out.
Of course, not every gaming fan has decided to take part in any ofBattlefield 1’s offerings to play the title early, as they are still on the fence as to whether or not it will be worth buying a Collector’s Edition or signing up for EA or Origin Access. With that being the case, Electronic Arts recently declared it will be holdinga week’s worth of two hour-long streamsfor the game starting today to give fans an even better idea of what kind of actionBattlefield 1contains.
Battlefield 1officially launches on July 23, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
