Just a few months ago before Battlefield V launched, EA revealed how the Battlefield 5 microtransactions will work in the game, though there was no specific date or schedule when this would take effect. Well, now we know when.
According to Amazon’s listing of the Battlefield V: Battlefield Currency (the currency used in the game for real world money), the Battlefield 5 microtransactions start date will be on January 18, 2019! Here’s a screenshot of it (thanks to Reddit user spanky008):
As you can plainly see in the text, it states that the item will be available on January 18, 2019. Note that this is not official, and things could change.
In case anyone’s worried, EA has already said that Battlefield Currency can grant users items that won’t affect the game balance in any way, so these will be cosmetics for guns and soldier camos mostly.
Here’s a rundown of the bulletpoint EA gave back in October:
- In Battlefield V, you progress by playing. The more you play, the more you’ll progress, and the more items you can unlock to outfit your Company.
- When it comes to gear, there is no one right answer — only what’s right for you, your playstyle, and the needs of your squad.
- There are two types of in-game currency. Company Coin is earned only through gameplay. Battlefield Currency is purchased with real-world money.
- Battlefield V is made to reward how often you play and how well you play. You will never be able to use Battlefield Currency or spend real-world money to get anything that gives you an unfair gameplay advantage.
While these, too, can change, the chances of DICE allowing anything that can affect game balance be bought using real world money is very slim given how EA was trashed publicly for what it tried to do with Star Wars Battlefront II.
Are you fine with the microtransactions in the game? Do you have any concern with the reported start date? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
SO RATHER THAN FIX THE FOOKING GAME, THEY PUSH MICRO DLC………
Fix what about it. The games not broken. It has some issues but you want to cry about MT when everything for the games going to be free otherwise? Damn, people really don’t want to be fair
SFTU twwat
You right game is solid. Sure there are a few tweaks needed and company currency is slow to earn. But considering how bad some of these major titles have been lately Battlefield 5 is a good game.
yep. ea is fuccing cancer!
SGUINESS 5++
This site has SO SO SO MANY ADS splattered all over the place, that it is almost impossible to type a comment and see what we have written, just like it is impossible to read the main content/story, which accounts for 0.000000001% of the whole page.
Even worse, if we try to resize the page, all the ads resize 2x more than the page, and everything becomes unusable.
As soon as we try to close an ad, another one does up, instantly.
There are so many many scripts, to track visitors, there are so many ads, that the simple fact of trying to scroll the page up/down, everything freezes, and the text tool starts to lag.
No wonder why people use ad blocks. I’m on a super fast tablet, with a ton of processing power, ram, etc, there are so many ads/tracking/stats/googleanalytics SCRIPTS running, with all the ads, that the whole website lags, no matter if we use a different device, desktop mode, different web browsers…
It’s frankly a SHAME…
COME ON, why not creating a website with 10’000 pixels width by 300’000 pixels height, put 5’000 ads on it, and write an article like ’13 reasons why the left testicle is smaller…’, and write 10 words per page… so the visitor must open 50 pages, for a total of 250’000 ADS per VISITOR ?
I am sure it is possible.
PS. Seriously, guys, grab a tablet, and try, try, TRY to read an article from your website. .. i promise you’re gonna cry !
Why even report this? It just isn’t relevant to anyone. Game flopped and this won’t save it. Let’s just leave the game to die in peace.
