Does Battlefield 2042 Have Season Pass? Year 1 Pass Details

Battlefield 2042 | Battlefield Portal Official Trailer

Battlefield 2042 is not offering a Season Pass; instead, a Year 1 Pass containing a total of four Battle Passes are included if players pre-order the Gold or Ultimate Edition of the game.

This elusive Year 1 Pass will give players access to four different Battle Passes needed to win those opponent heavy matches. Other than that, the Year 1 Pass will also give you access to some Skin Bundles to jazz up your four free specialists in the game.

Judging by the way EA has revealed the multiplayer modes and maps for the game, you might want to take up on that Year 1 Pass offer and get suited up for a trigger happy time.

Should I Buy the Ultimate Edition for Battlefield 2042?

The Ultimate Edition for Battlefield is priced at $109.99 for PC players, making it almost $20 more than the Gold Edition. Although the Ultimate Edition might offer a few extra bundles and freebies, I’d suggest you go for the Gold Edition, which gives you the same access to the Year 1 Pass.

I would also go for the Gold Edition and refrain from spending the extra money to get a digital art book or two. The Gold Edition offers the perfect amount of freebies and skins worth keeping and includes the Yearly Pass and Open Beta access.

But, if you’re one of those collectors ready to spend an extra 20 bucks, then the Ultimate Edition is perfect for you! So pre-order the game now, and wait for the Open Beta coming this September before jumping into the real deal.

About Battlefield 2042

Battlefield 2042 is the seventeenth installment in the Battlefield series developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. The game is a first-person online multiplayer shooting title. This installment of Battlefield will not feature a single-player campaign mode.

The year is 2042 and the world is in ruins. Natural disasters run rampant, ocean levels have risen, the world economy has collapsed, and the US and Russia are at war. You step into the shoes of a non-patriated soldier – a soldier without a side. The games’ story will be revealed through episodic additions, allowing players to create a future for themselves and other non-pats in a world on the brink of destruction.
