With the Battlefield 6 open beta now available, players are discovering that there are bots in some of their matches. Battlefield Studios has clarified how bots work, with the developer making it clear that AI soldiers only show up in the “Training Grounds” playlists for the open beta.

This week, the Training Grounds playlist is Breakthrough Initiation. The Training Grounds playlists aim to help players learn the ropes and should be a “smoother experience” compared to a full match populated with real humans. The Training Grounds playlist is only available for ranks 1-15.

Now Playing: Battlefield 6 – Official Multiplayer Gameplay Reveal Trailer

None of this is major news, as Battlefield Studios already explained all of this days ago. But Battlefield Studios is reiterating things now that the open beta is live.

The Battlefield 6 open beta is now available in early access for people who have a code–it’s not hard to get one. The open beta expands to everyone August 9-10 and then runs again August 14-17.

The open beta is off to a hot start, with more than 300,000 peak concurrent players on Steam alone.

Battlefield 6 is set to launch October 10 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC–with cross-play available to those who wish to use it. Preorders are available now for both the Standard and Phantom editions, the latter of which includes extra in-game skins, currency, and more for $100–compared to the standard edition’s $70 price tag.
