If you
want to try Battlefield 2042 for free on PC, your time is
running out. You have just over a day to download and play it on Steam before
it goes back to being a full-price release.
Battlefield 2042‘s free access period on Steam began on
March 13, about two weeks after the start of Season
4: Eleventh Hour. If you go to its store page on Steam, you can download and play it for free
until 12 p.m. ET on March 16. The game is also discounted on Steam during this
time, so you can pick Battlefield 2042 up for $18 instead of
$60.
If you
don’t want to buy the game directly but still want to continue playing after this
free trial period, you have some options. Battlefield 2042 is
included in multiple subscription services at the moment. It is one of March
2023’s monthly PlayStation Plus titles for both PS4 and PS5
subscribers. Meanwhile, it’s available as part of the EA Play game library,
which Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
all have access to.
If you
use the same EA account on those platforms, you’ll be able to carry over all of
your account progression and items and not lose any progress. As such, this
free access period on Steam is a great time to check out Battlefield
2042 if you’ve been on the fence about picking it up.
Battlefield 2042 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5,
Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Its free Steam demo ends on March 16.
