Battlefield 2042 Beta Amassed Over 7.7 Million Players, Biggest Early Access Event in EA History

Battlefield 2042 Next Update 3.3 Patch Notes

It looks like loads of players are looking forward to Battlefield 2042, and a load of people dipped their toes into the Battlefield 2042 beta pool! During EA’s quarterly earnings report, the publisher revealed that over 7.7 million players participated in the BF2042 beta! EA CEO Andrew Wilson divulged that the beta garnered over 3.1 million players during the early access period (available for pre-order buyers, and EA Play members), which makes it the biggest early access event in EA’s storied history.

While the beta did give us a taste of what’s to come later this month, it didn’t exactly wow us as we hoped (detailed in our extensive hands-on impressions piece). That said, DICE did drop a ton of info regarding what’s changed from the beta to the final launch build, and there are a lot of changes incoming.

In other Battlefield 2042 news, DICE revealed a TON of details regarding Battlefield Portal which included a new gameplay trailer.

Battlefield 2042 will shoot its way out this November 19 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with early access for EA Play members available on November 12.
