Battlefield 6 should tread carefully: phishing scams masquerading as playtest invites for the upcoming first-person shooter are spreading via Instagram and Reddit. These fake ads claim to offer early access through Steam, but they’re actually bait to steal your login credentials.
Scammers are exploiting the hype by mimicking official messaging—mentioning server stress tests, feature previews, and limited access—all under the guise of excitement. Some even go so far as to call the game “early access,” which it is definitely not. Not yet anyway.
A Battlefield Bulletin post on X (formerly Twitter) flagged these scam ads on Instagram, showing official logos and familiar key art—but the links go nowhere good. Moderators and fans alike are warning against interacting with anything but EA’s verified Battlefield channels.
EA and Dice have denied authorizing any third-party playtest signups. The only legitimate way to test Battlefield 6 is through EA’s own Battlefield Labs portal—straight from their website. Nothing else counts.
You’ll still see genuine leaks—gameplay clips, map reveals, and Beta whispers—but these are community-shared data dumps, not beacons from phishing sites. Stick to official sources, and when in doubt—trust your gut and don’t click.
