A PR representative confirmed to Screen Rant that cross-play parties will NOT be active during Battlefield 2042's open beta, but in the game's full release Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC players will be able to play together. Those looking forward to Battlefield 2042's cross-play party features, however, will have to wait. Because it's launching between Call of Duty: Vanguard and Halo Infinite's release dates, Battlefield will have stiff competition this holiday season, but the beta could win some hesitant players over. Developer DICE and publisher EA cite the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for the delay (which came just a month prior to the old release date), and the additional month is presumably being used to further polish Battlefield 2042 ahead of launch. Because of the mixed reception of Battlefield V, DICE may need as much time as possible with the sequel to ensure it can win back some lapsed players and compete against AAA competitors Call of Duty: Vanguard and Halo Infinite this fall.įor those that enjoy the beta, Battlefield 2042 will have an early access period prior to its worldwide release in November. The game can be played a week early starting November 12 for $100, an advantage some may be willing to pay for in lieu of the $60 standard edition. The Battlefield 2042 beta was originally meant to be held in September, but it was pushed back after the game was delayed from October to November. There were of course leaks that teed up non-participants' expectations, but that playtest didn't represent the game's final build. A closed technical test for Battlefield 2042 was held in August, but gameplay footage and details were protected under non-disclosure agreements. The dates and map for Battlefield 2042's beta have finally been revealed after months of waiting, and it starts on October 6 for pre-order customers.
