Battlefield 2042 will be getting a 10-hour trial for members of EA Play, starting on November 12. This will also include Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members on consoles, alongside members of Game Pass PC, and EA Play Pro on PC.
The game had a fairly interesting open beta, sparking a lot of debate about the current state of the shooter. EA has tried to calm nerves by informing fans that the beta build was a few months old at least, but that doesn't mean there still won't be concerns about the final product. So, this trial might be a good opportunity for a second chance at a first impression.
Battlefield 2042 is set to release on November 19, 2021, after being delayed by a month from its original October 22 launch day.
This upcoming trial will be another feather in the cap for Xbox Game Pass users, since Game Pass already has an absolutely stacked November lined up, with Forza Horizon 5, GTA San Andreas, and It Takes Two all coming to the service.
Game Pass is also currently on sale at Amazon (US only), coming down to just $37.99 for 3-Months of Game Pass Ultimate (see here), which will stack on your current membership. Game Pass PC is also down to $1 for 3-months for new and returning users.
