Battlefield 2042 2021
Battlefield 2042 is a 2021 online-only multiplayer first-person shooter game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It is the seventeenth title in the Battlefield series, released on November 19, 2021 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. This entry marks the first Battlefield game to support cross-platform play and removes the single-player campaign that defined earlier titles. It also represents the final Battlefield release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems.
The game garnered mixed reviews from critics and faced negative player feedback due to technical problems, missing features, and altered gameplay mechanics. Sales performance fell short of expectations set by Electronic Arts. Following this, a new Battlefield title, Battlefield 6, was developed by Battlefield Studios (DICE, Motive Studios, Ripple Effect Studios and Criterion Games) and launched on October 10, 2025.
