Now Playing: Battlefield 2042 Video Review
The new modes, which are available on the game’s All-Out Warfare menu, doesn’t yet have an end date, so it could be possible that DICE decides to add them permanently soon. If you’ve been playing on Xbox One or PS4, you’ll still be limited to a maximum of 64-players across the same modes, but unfortunately you won’t be able to cross-play with new players from newer hardware.
Battlefield 2042 has been struggling since launch, with DICE laying out a roadmap of planned fixes it is pursuing to stabilize the game. The game’s latest patch address some critical issues, while also laying the groundwork for the game’s upcoming Santa vs. Elves mode for the holidays.
Without many of its issues, DICE’s latest shooter has some promise, with our Battlefield 2042 review reading, “The best part is that, mostly, it has done a really effective job of curating those additions so that they bring more to what players already like about Battlefield, rather than change what already works.”
