This Week, Battlefield 2042 to Get on EA Play and Xbox Game Pass

This week, Battlefield 2042 celebrates its first birthday. And this is one celebration for everyone to enjoy. On November 22, the latest installment in the Battlefield series became available to EA Play and Xbox Game Pass subscribers. And this means every EA or Xbox user can play it for some time without any extra payments (save for the subscription).
 
Not only is it the first birthday of Battlefield 2042. Its appearance on subscription platforms also coincides with the start of Season 3: Escalation. For new players, this is the chance to catch up with the storyline, given that there was no story mode initially: it comes in parts with seasons. For those already playing, it’s the chance to invite their friends.
 
Along with subscription-based access, EA also provides a chance to get familiar with the game to non-subscribers too. On Xbox, everyone will be able to play Battlefield 2042 on December 1-4. Those on Steam will have their piece of free pie on December 1-5. And Sony fans will be able to play Battlefield 2042 on their PlayStation consoles on December 16-23, joining later but having an entire week to take a look.
 
Battlefield 2042 is a controversial entry in the series. Some critics have dubbed it the worst installment in the Battlefield history. Others claim it’s a five-star game. It might depend on your expectations. But if you’re the kind of person to only trust your own firsthand experience, this is your chance to get some. Especially given that EA didn’t waste that year and, along with bug fixes, added to Battlefield 2042 quite a bunch of new content.
 
The Season 3 has already begun, bringing in a new map, new firearms, and a new Specialist, an Egyptian named Zain. You may have already got familiar with them. How did you like it? Does Battlefield 2042 feel better now than right after the launch? Share your impressions and recommendations with us in the comments!
