Sad the Battlefield 6 Open Beta is over? I am, too, but hey — Battlefield 2042 just got a surprise new Update 9.2, and it has BF6 rewards for everyone that plays it

The new Iwo Jima map in Battlefield 2042.

Alas, all good things must come to an end, and such is the case with Electronic Arts (EA) and DICE's extremely popular Battlefield 6 Open Beta. Throughout both of its weekends this month, the public playtest accrued hundreds of thousands of players across the large-scale multiplayer FPS' Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PS5 platforms, even toppling Call of Duty's record on Steam.

Now, though, its servers have come down, and fans hooked on its bombastic all-out warfare have found themselves in withdrawal, forced to wait for the game's full release that's scheduled for October 10. To help tide the community over, however, DICE has released a surprise new update for Battlefield 2042 — and it includes rewards players can earn for Battlefield 6.
