Today DICE announced the Battlefield 1 Open Beta will begin August 31^st on Xbox One, PC via Origin and PS 4. Players who have signed up as a Battlefield Insider on https://www.battlefield.com/community/insider and chosen their platform before August 21^st will be eligible to receive early access to the Open Beta.

The Battlefield 1 Open Beta will feature two franchise favorite modes – Conquest and Rush – on the new Sinai Desert map. Playable with up to 64 players, this map includes a new controllable Armored Train behemoth, ridable horses and three new Elite Classes – Sentry, Flame Trooper and Tank Hunter.

Since the unveiling of Battlefield 1 in May, fans have been clamoring for a taste of the all-out-war experience that the backdrop of World War 1 provides. Bring a horse to a tank fight, or rain down machine gun fire on enemy positions with the heavily armored Sentry.

Fans wanting to check out the Open Beta action before August 31^st can do so by watching the Battlefield 1Squads livestream on August 16^th at http://www.twitch.tv/battlefield or by coming to play the game this week at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany.
