When does Battlefield 2042 go live? Early access and game trial times detailed
DICE’s shooter unlocks on November 12 for some pre-order and subscription holders
Electronic Arts has detailed exactly when fans will be able to start playing Battlefield 2042.
The publisher recently delayed Battlefield 2042’s release date to November 19, but EA Play Pro members and players who pre-order the Gold or Ultimate editions of the shooter will receive early access to the full game one week ahead of its worldwide launch.
EA Play and Xbox Game Pass members will also receive access to a 10-hour Battlefield 2042 trial beginning on November 12.
Below you’ll find country-specific Battlefield 2042 launch times for this week’s early access and game trial, as well as next week’s worldwide launch, which were originally published on EA’s website.
Developer DICE confirmed on Wednesday that Battlefield 2042 Season 1 won’t launch until 2022. Before than, it’s planning to offer weekly missions and rewards, plus limited time modes.
In Battlefield 2042’s first year of live service, the studio is planning to deliver four Seasons, each including a Battle Pass, Specialist and new locations.
It also intends to deliver updates to Battlefield Portal, the new mode which lets players design their own match experiences by mixing maps and elements from past series entries with Battlefield 2042.
