Alexia Christofi from the development team teased something for the new map, promising “a location we’ve always wanted to realize, but haven’t so far in our 20 years of creating Battlefield. Additions in the new season include reworked maps, a new specialist, and something ambitious. The dev blog detailed plans for the remainder of Season 2, as well as what players can look forward to with Season 3 in 2023. The news of Battlefield 2042 coming to Game Pass Ultimate for a limited time was shared in a developer update from Electronic Arts. This game includes optional in-game purchases of virtual currency that can be used to acquire virtual in-game items. However, as Battlefield 2042 rolls into Season 3, it could potentially recruit a new population of players with its debut on Microsoft’s Game Pass Ultimate service in 2023. Battlefield 2042 has never played better thanks to ongoing improvements like a returning Class system, map overhauls, weapon balancing, squad management tools, and much more. This is also despite Battlefield 2042 using DICE’s flagship and realistic Frostbite engine.

In contrast, the Battlefield franchise has struggled over the years to maintain its share of the already crowded market. There’s no doubt that Call of Duty practically owns the market when it comes to military first-person shooters.
