Battlefield 2042 is free to play on Xbox this weekend
Battlefield 2042 hasn’t been out that long, but it’s already free to play this weekend.
Battlefield 2042 is free to play this weekend if you have an Xbox and Xbox Live Gold. That means you get the perfect opportunity to get a taste of the new shooter from DICE and EA if you want to get your own idea of whether you like the title. In view of the rather complicated technical state in which the multiplayer offshoot was released, certainly not a bad thing.
Battlefield 2042 can be tried out on Xbox for free today
Everyone who owns an Xbox One or Xbox Series S / X can already play the new DICE shooter for free. We owe that to the Free Play Days aka Free game daysthat Microsoft organizes on a regular basis. All you need is a paid Xbox Gold Live subscription.

From when to when does the campaign run exactly? The free game days of Battlefield 2042 extend over the entire weekend, more precisely from January 6th to January 9th.
It seems a bit surprising that a real blockbuster with Battlefield 2042 can be played for free so soon after its release. But DICE and EA recently gave the multiplayer shooter a free weekend on the PC. Possibly to stimulate the ailing number of players who, in contrast to the considerable sales figures, look rather meager.
What is it The somewhat bumpy launch and the sometimes difficult technical condition of Battlefield 2042 as well as some design decisions do not meet with much approval from many long-time fans. The performance fluctuates, the weapon accuracy leaves a lot to be desired, there are still a lot of bugs and on top of that, Maps and Specialists are rather mixed.

Battlefield 2042 isn’t the only game in the Free Play Days
In addition to Battlefield 2042, a few other titles can also be played for free as part of Microsoft’s Free Play Days. There is, for example, The Sinking City, based on HP Lovecraft, in which you try not to lose your mind. There is also Star Renegades, in which you can try a mix of round tactics and RPG.
Are you going to take a look at Battlefield 2042 now that it’s free?
