A closed alpha might seem like a foregone conclusion for Battlefield V, but a couple of now-deleted tweets might mean that developer DICE is leaving console players in the lurch.
The fact that Battlefield V‘s closed alpha might only be open to PC players is likely to unnerve the more dedicated members of Battlefield’s console community.
However, it’s possible that these tweets were deleted because DICE plans on bringing Battlefield V‘s closed alpha to consoles, possibly following backlash from the initial tweets.
Battlefield 1‘s closed alpha was open to all three platforms, meaning console players (who make up the vast majority of Battlefield’s player base) had a chance to give EA and DICE feedback on the game earlier in the game’s development.
