EA has started inviting players to a closed alpha test for Battlefield 1.

Codes granting access to the alpha were issued to select users last night, although it isn’t clear how many players were invited or how they were selected. The alpha is reportedly available on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

“Help us Test Battlefield 1”, says an email sent out to invited players (as posted on Reddit). “Experience the dawn of all out war in the Battlefield 1 Closed Alpha. Jump in and test out the St. Quentin Scar, one of the maps available in the game.”

The email goes on to ask users not to “share or post any information, screenshots, or videos” related to the alpha on public forums or social media.

Footage of the alpha appeared online yesterday, with Digital Foundry running players through the differences between the Low, Medium, High and Ultra settings of the PC version.

Battlefield 1 launches on PS4, Xbox One and PC on October 21. An open beta test is also due to take place later this summer.
