Battlefield 2042 is available for free this weekend for PC gamers, so it’s a great time to give the game a spin and develop your own opinions on one of the most hotly debated games of the year.
Let’s be honest, with Battlefield’s last title, no one expected Battlefield 2042 to be this good. In a recent report, it is said that the game began pre-production 3 years ago, although actual development only lasted from Summer 2020 to November 2021. A single-player storyline was discarded, new class systems that borrow from Call of Duty Warzone, and Apex Legends as well as layout for the next-generation of consoles were all developed in under 15 months. Oh, and there’s also a pandemic going on at the same time.
We are serious about Battlefield. EA is investing significant time and resources into Battlefield 2042 and the long-term success of the franchise,” said the publisher in a statement that occurred following this news about Battlefield 2042‘s development. “We will continue to grow and improve Battlefield 2042, as it is the foundation for the future of this franchise. We have the right leaders in place and we’re investing in the teams and resources to capture Battlefield’s massive potential.”
You can cut through the hullabaloo surrounding the title and see it for yourself during this weekend’s free play. It’s free, but this privilege is only available to PC gamers. Pc gamers can buy the title via steam for free between December 16th to December 20th.
For those who wish to put Battlefield 2042 through the test and acknowledge the value EA was promoting in its argument, the title’s gold, standard and ultimate versions are also available on steam to purchase.
How to Play Battlefield 2042?
Battlefield 2042 will be available on Steam this weekend, from December 17 through the next three days. A Battlefield 2042 leaker says that a battle royale mode is in development.
This weekend’s free-to-play promotion is only accessible on PC, so console gamers are out of luck.
This free weekend is a marketing ploy by DICE to get people to buy the game after playing it for free. There is a pity that PlayStation and Xbox gamers aren’t eligible for the promotion.
The PlayStation and Xbox gaming communities are vast and might have bolstered sales and ratings of the game, assuming they were all pleased with the gameplay. We’ll be sure to cover any comparable offers that come our way in the future. So make sure you follow GeeksULTD for regular updates.

When a game has a rough start, it may often evolve into the title the developers had in mind. Think about how far No Man’s Sky has come in the last five years. So, we have to be patient and see if Battlefield 2042 sings the same lyrics or not.
