Battlefield™ 2042

Battlefield 2042 is a 2021 online-only multiplayer first-person shooter game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. The seventeenth installment in the Battlefield series, it was released on November 19, 2021, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Unlike previous games in the series, Battlefield 2042 is solely multiplayer and does not have a single-player campaign. It is also the first installment to feature support for cross-platform play. It was the final Battlefield game to be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms. The game received mixed reviews from critics and a negative reception from players for its technical issues, lack of features, and certain changes to the gameplay. The game failed to meet the sales expectations of Electronic Arts. A new Battlefield installment, titled Battlefield 6, developed by Battlefield Studios (DICE, Motive Studios, Ripple Effect Studios and Criterion Games), was released on October 10, 2025.
