It’s looking like Battlefield 2042 could head to Xbox Game Pass in the future.
As noted by XGP, the Xbox store page for Battlefield 2042 now includes Game Pass logos in certain regions. Previously, the much-maligned shooter offered timed trials for subscribers, but that was about it. Neither EA nor Microsoft has made an official statement regarding Battlefield 2042 potentially being on Game Pass, so take this with a pinch of salt for now.
Battlefield 2042 is still recovering from its dreadful launch. Between fan backlashes, key project leads at DICE leaving for greener pastures, and stiff competition, there’s no question that Battlefield 2042 was a historic low point for the franchise. EA leadership reportedly considered free-to-play options, so the game coming to Microsoft’s service is pretty believable.
For all of Battlefield 2042‘s woes, many still think it’s not a lost cause. GLHF‘s Kick McKeand thought it needed several big patches before it was great, especially with all the missing features from past entries. Not everyone believes saving Battlefield 2042 is possible, but there’s no hurt in trying.
Loads of titles get somewhat of a second chance on Game Pass. Recent additions include This War of Mine, along with Assassin’s Creed Origins and others.
