Battlefield 2042 Announces Free Access Period In December

Electronic Arts and EA DICE revealed they will be holding a special free access period for Battlefield 2042 to run in early December. Players who have not had a chance to try the game out yet, or possibly skipped over it when it first game out, now have a chance to try everything from the first three seasons completely free for a limited time. Much like other free periods, if you decide to buy it after you play, your progress will be saved to your account. We have the rundown of how this will play out below as it will all take place across multiple platforms next month.
