Powered by cutting-edge technology that takes the capabilities of next-generation hardware to the next level, the game takes players into a near-future, all-out war experience with the franchise’s signature game-changing destruction.
With matches filled with up to 128 players and large-scale maps on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PCs (Xbox One and PS4 are limited to 64 players and smaller map sizes), this unprecedented scale adds a new dimension to multiplayer combat.
Battlefield 2042 also ramps up the action with the addition of real-time events that reshape the battlefield and tactical combat. All new weapons, vehicles and gadgets give players the freedom to be strategic and create breathtaking Battlefield-only moments.
In Battlefield 2042the world is on the brink. Shortages of food, energy and clean water have led to dozens of failed nations, creating the largest refugee crisis in human history. Among these Non-Patriated, or No-Pats, are families, farmers, engineers – and even soldiers. In the midst of this crisis, the United States and Russia are pulling the world into all-out war. No-Pat Specialists join both sides, fighting not for a flag, but for the future of the Non-Patriates in this new world.
Players step into the shoes of Specialists, an all-new type of playable soldier for the franchise. Inspired by the traditional four Battlefield classes, Specialists will be equipped with their own unique Specialist Trait and Specialty, and will have fully customizable gear. As a specialist, players have access to a cutting-edge arsenal of weapons, equipment and vehicles to use in battle. These powerful new tools give creative players a wealth of options to find the perfect combination to suit their playstyle and outsmart and defeat opponents on the battlefield.
