Did EA Cancel Battlefield 2042 Open Beta Pre-Order Bonus?
Recently, players noticed that the pre-order bonus was not visible for Battlefield 2042. For those who are unaware, the Battlefield 2042 pre-order bonus included Open Beta Access along with the Pre-Order Pack.
Open beta early access was removed as a pre-order bonus for Battlefield 2042 on PS4.
This *could* indicate that there won't be a beta for last gen consoles.https://t.co/JxARAv6sao #BATTLEFIELD2042 pic.twitter.com/78N0ciyGMK

This was spotted by Okami Games, who mentions that the PS4 page of the game doesn’t mention the Open Beta Pre-Order Bonus anymore. This sparked a debate in the community, with many believing that EA will be excluding last-gen consoles from the open beta. While that makes sense to some extent, a large number of players still own last-gen consoles, considering how difficult it is to get your hands on the new consoles.
This was a simple store front error that incorrectly listed the pre-order offer for PS4. It's being updated now and you'll see the correct details shortly.
To confirm: there have been no changes to the pre-order incentives for Battlefield 2042. https://t.co/2BYSV35d9i
