battlefield 2042 season 5 quality of life

Three weeks into the launch of Season 4: Eleventh Hour, DICE has made Battlefield 2042 free to download and play on Steam until 10am PT/1pm ET/1am HKT on March 16. The game has also been discounted by 70% for the base edition and 55% for the Ultimate Edition to incentivize new players to buy the game.

Season 4 of DICE’s Battlefield 2042 began three weeks ago with a host of new content for the game, including a new map, Specialist, weapons, and much more. Season 4 is also the proving ground for the recent class rework, which sought to revive previous games’ class system by organizing Battlefield 2042’s Specialists into four classes with unique strengths and equipment for each class.

While the free-to-play offer has not been extended to the console editions of the game, PlayStation Plus subscribers (all three tiers) can pick the game up for free this month to keep forever, while the Xbox player base can enjoy the game at no additional cost through the Xbox Game Pass service. Should you choose to head into Battlefield 2042 during the offer, be sure to check out our weekly reset post featuring this week’s Battle Pass missions, Portal modes, and new store bundles.
