Battlefield 6 leaks have flooded the internet so much that scammers have jumped on the bandwagon, sending out fake Steam links disguised as playtest invites. This is a classic bait-and-switch, and it’s catching some players off guard, so heads up!
The flood of Battlefield 6 leaks, combined with the recent official reveal from EA and Dice, has created a perfect storm for these scams. Battlefield Bulletin first spotted fake playtest access offers on Instagram, and plenty of other users have reported seeing similar phishing ads elsewhere, including Reddit.

These scams claim to be official Steam opportunities but are actually traps to steal your Steam account info. One scam ad reads like a generic marketing spiel: “The purpose of the test is to evaluate a limited set of Battlefield 6 features on a wide variety of user configurations, to stress-test server infrastructure and to collect feedback Demolish your environment for a strategic advantage. In a war of tanks, fighter jets, and massive combat arsenals, your squad is the deadliest weapon. This is Battlefield 6.” Sounds fishy, right? It’s almost like some AI tried to sound cool but failed miserably.
There are scam ads on Instagram claiming you can register into a playtest, but it’s just a phishing site. Be careful and spread awareness (I know people will fall for this lol)

If you want to check if you’re eligible for a PlayTest, just visit the official Steam page. So yeah, don’t trust those links. Clicking them could cost you your Steam account, and that’s a nightmare no one wants.
Just to be crystal clear, EA and Dice don’t handle playtest invites this way. The only legit method to get involved right now is by signing up for Battlefield Labs on EA’s official site. If you see anything else claiming to be an invite, it’s almost certainly a scam.
There are plenty of genuine Battlefield 6 leaks out there, gameplay footage, release date hints, vehicle combat showcases, and even some skin designs that are surprisingly chill compared to other games. You can check those out responsibly if you want, but don’t fall for these bogus playtest ads.
There’s evidence from dataminers that Battlefield 6 will bring back two fan-favorite features: a dam-busting campaign mission and a battle royale mode. Pretty cool, huh? So, are you gonna trust some random Instagram ad promising early access? Don’t. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Stay safe out there and keep your Steam accounts locked down.
