While it would be nice to see a Battlefield 1 beta released in early August, we don't expect that to happen.
The alpha ended on July 18th and there's work to be done. We'd expect there to be a gap between alpha and beta. And with signs pointing to Gamescom as a potential launch pad for Battlefield 1, an August/September release seems more likely at this point. EA DICE's betas typically emerge about a month or so before the public release. This gives the company time to kill any last minute bugs and it also serves as a marketing tool for the game's imminent release. Two birds, one stone.
It's difficult to predict an exact date but we'd expect a late August/early-to-mid September Battlefield 1 beta on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Anything other than that would be a complete surprise.
