Battlefield V Open Beta Release Date and NVIDIA Integration Announced

Battlefield V will be the latest entry in the popular first person shooter franchise and is expected to be one of the most popular new game releases this year. However, fans will soon be able to experience what Battlefield V has to offer, as Dice announced on Monday, August 20th that the release date for the open beta of the game will be coming in early September. 

The Battlefield V open beta release date has been confirmed to be September 4th for early access and on September 6th for all players with an Origina account on PC, Xbox One and the Playstation 4. Early access can be obtained for players by pre-ordering the title or by being subscribed to either EA Access, Origin Access or Origin Access Premier. 

Fans will be able to experience a solid amount of content in the game's open beta, as the test will be showcasing the Rotterdam map for Conquest Mode and the Arctic Fjord map for both Grand Operations and Conquest. Grand Operations is a brand new game mode to the Battlefield franchise that will see Battlefield V players battle across multiple maps and game modes in a narrative journey that will be inspired by historical events. 

Also announced alongside the release date for the open beta was a brand new piece of NVIDIA technology in the form of the NVIDIA RTX platform that will be fully integrated into the first person shooter. You can find the official description of what the NVIDIA RTX technology will be bringing to the title of Battlefield V below. 

"DICE showcased NVIDIA’s new RTX technology announced during NVIDIA’s press conference with a jaw-dropping live demo of Battlefield V on PC, one of the first games being developed on the NVIDIA RTX platform to feature real-time ray tracing as a rendering technique. Previously used to pre-render lifelike worlds in movies, ray tracing with the NVIDIA RTX platform brings real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to video games. In Battlefield V, NVIDIA RTX allows DICE to imitate the way light is reflected in the real world enhancing the fidelity of reflective surfaces in every level, map and locale in the game. This will ensure Battlefield V feels more lifelike and dynamic, leading to a more immersive experience that makes players feel like the battle is unfolding in a full 360-degrees around them. The use of real-time ray tracing in Battlefield V is made possible by NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX 20 series GPUs."

With a new and extremely powerful set of graphical and performance technology from NVIDIA being integrated into Battlefield V, players are sure to have a gorgeous game to look at when they are beginning their testing of the new title on the release date for its open beta.
