In what appears to be a desperate move to increase Battlefield 2042’s player base, EA and DICE have launched the first free-to-play weekend for it. From today and until December 20th, PC gamers can download and play this new BF game.
Do note that this is a free-to-play and not a free-to-own offer. As such, you will only be able to play the game for free during this weekend.
My guess is that EA and DICE want more players to experience the game’s latest version which appears to be in a much better state than its launch version. After all, Battlefield 2042’s Update 3.0 featured over 150 fixes. DICE has also released Update 3.1 which fixed additional issues. However, the game still suffers from major issues and there is still no server browser (or any of the legacy features that BF fans have been requesting these past few weeks).
I don’t really remember any previous Battlefield game having a free-to-play weekend this close to launch. So yeah, as I said, this appears to be a desperate move to increase the game’s player base.
Ironically, and speaking of BF 2042, there is a new Battlefield parody FPS game, called Clownfield 2042. My guess is that this BF 2042 parody game will be free to play. As such, it will be really funny if this game ends up having more players than the real BF 2042 game.
But anyway, you can download and play the game from here.

LOL! Well deserved outcome for destroying what was the greatest PC multiplayer FPS franchise that existed.
DICE and EA deserve nothing but ridicule and shame for BF2042, and not just for it’s state at release, but for all the design decisions that ruined the BF formula.
No classes, no nations, Siege-style specialists with zoomer levels of stupid comments, and so many more things turned me off so hard it was like that moment when you see a good-looking woman and then she speaks and you realize it’s a man with an absurd amount of plastic surgery and makeup… GROSS!
BF is DEAD, gentlemen!
Bf Died with Bf1
It died with BF2

Thanks for the news! Il give it a try!
If i remember correctly, BF1 had around 30-40k players daily, before they stopped reporting stats to P-Stats. And that the last great Battlefield game.
So you can imagine how much fewer play this crap. Times changed. Ppl go for Forttrash or PUBG Mobile. Or Warzone. Even M$ jumped in with that garbage, Halo Fortinite. Salute to DICE devs, Bad Company 1-2 era!
Stick a fork in it.
This pig is done.
Back to back Battlefield games that have failed. Will EA accomplish a hattrick with the next one?
go back to when this game was first shown, i told ya it looked like mediocre trash and you people bashed me and downvoted me. Always trust my instincts.
I played a single round in the beta and uninstalled it. Knew it was trash. Thankful they let me know ahead of time it was a pile of doo doo

My time is valuable and this POS is not even worth F2P!
I suspect that small armies of hypebeast hispanic zoomer kids are what keep sh*t like this going. I saw it had around 16,000 players before the free weekend on Steam.
Holy sh*t that’s a red flag!
BF died after BF4
BF4 best BF of all time
this crap eats cpu like it has crypto miner built in
