EA wants the community to help shape the next Battlefield

Battlefield Labs is EA’s new testing program for the Battlefield franchise.

EA has announced a new “Battlefield Labs” community testing program to give people the opportunity to test the next Battlefield game. You can sign up for the program now, and EA says that the “first phase” of testing will go live in “the coming weeks” for invited players in Europe and North America.

There’s a long queue to attempt to sign up for Battlefield Labs; there are just more than 200,000 peoplein the waiting queue and the estimated wait time is “more than an hour.” EA says that “your position in the registration queue does not affect your chances of being invited,” so if you don’t want to deal with the queue, you might want to wait a bit to try to register.
