Battlefield 6 Fans Being Targeted With Fake Playtest Invites on Instagram
Battlefield 6 Playtest Scam Is Targeting Fans on Instagram
A new Battlefield 6 playtest scam is spreading across Instagram, tricking fans into sharing their Steam login credentials. The scam appeared shortly after EA released the official Battlefield 6 trailer on July 24. Scammers are taking advantage of the hype to lure excited players into phishing traps.
Fake Playtest Invites Are Circulating on Social Media
While Battlefield Labs is hosting real playtests throughout 2025, not every invite shared online is legitimate. EA is sending out real invites to collect feedback on Battlefield 6. However, scammers are now creating fake invites to steal Steam information.
Battlefield Bulletin Exposes Instagram-Based Scam
The popular Battlefield news account, Battlefield Bulletin, posted a warning about the scam on Twitter. It shared screenshots of a fake invite spreading on Instagram. Fans who follow the fake link are led to a phishing page disguised as a sign-up form. The scam aims to access Steam accounts and use them to target more victims. This Battlefield 6 playtest scam mirrors similar phishing attempts seen during the Elden Ring: Nightreign test in early 2025.
How Battlefield Fans Can Avoid the Scam
To stay safe, players should avoid clicking on invites received through DMs or unofficial sources. No matter how real it looks, always double-check the origin. Only trust information from EA’s official Battlefield site or verified social media pages. That’s the safest way to join any real playtests or future beta sessions. The open beta for Battlefield 6 is also confirmed and expected in the next few months.
Wait for the Battlefield 6 Open Beta Instead
With Battlefield 6 on nearly 500,000 Steam wishlists, scammers are betting that fans won’t think twice before clicking. The best defence is patience. Don’t risk your account — wait for real news from EA. A full multiplayer reveal is set for July 31, where more official beta details and gameplay footage will be shared.
