Battlefield 2042 Joining Game Pass, Getting Free Weekends

In announcing the free/Game Pass availability, DICE also dropped a video and blog today outlining new weapons, map changes and specialist tweaks coming as part of Season 3, along with a very brief hint at something else coming beyond that, which they’re pitching as something more substantial. That something else is discussed over a cinematic of soldiers looking at ominous weather, so given the game is set in a near-future climate apocalypse (and already features in-game storms that can wreck your shit), it’ll be interesting to see if this something else makes dramatic changes to the way weather shapes and affects the maps.

Battlefield 2042 will be hitting Game Pass when Season 3 launches soon, while the free weekend/week will run from December 1-4 on Xbox, Dec 1-5 on Steam and Dec 16-23 on PlayStation.
