Pre order for beta then cancel?
If I pre order the game, play the early access beta and it turns out to not be so great for example say it has poor performance/is incredibly buggy and I end up being put off the game; can I still cancel my pre order or is this rendered void by playing the beta?

The game is a pre-order, you can refund if you only play the beta (so long as the game doesn't actually release before you refund). Steam allows refunds with beta time played. Also the Beta is separate as well so no issue whatsoever.

Basically if it wasn't separated you could still refund (no matter how many hours played), you just need to open a support ticket via the support site and type the details, it was beta etc. If you simply opened a ticket via steam library it'd most likely be handled by bots which only take hours played into consideration.

Better get EA Play, it is a much cheaper and safer option. It can still give you early access to the beta.

The 15 dollar version from EA. That's essentially 15 wasted dollars that can't be refunded lol

How is that cheaper and safer when you don't get your money back but you can from a steam refund lol

In the event Battlefield 2042 fails to arise to your minimal expectations, you have a wide variety of great games to choose from!

You can also play other games in the catalog to keep you busy, especially those on your wishlist. Sometimes you might be glad not to purchase a game if you didn't enjoy it.

Edit: bear in mind you don't need to spend $15 if you are not going to subscribe for the entire year.

I do find it weird, it seems like a huge misconception that you need the game to play the beta, it's not like anyone needs 4 whole days to see if the game is for them or not, a few hours should be enough.

It is 2021 and all digital games will now include a beta trial period.

His point isn't about if the game has a beta trial but that you need to own the game to take part in it.

I am waiting till the beta goes into open beta to give me a feel if I will buy it or not. am not going to preorder it just to play the beta.
EA Play Works or we need Play Pro ?

Play Pro I believe for early access, Though I THINK standard EA play qualifies too.
