Battlefield 2042 is presently available for only 3 euros and has recently undergone a significant update featuring a new map, fresh weapons, and more.
This is a narrative we’ve encountered far too often: DICE unveils a Battlefield or Battlefront title riddled with issues, it evolves over time with player feedback, and only truly flourishes when it becomes somewhat too late. This also applies to the most recent Battlefield 2042.
However: We won’t have to wait too long for Battlefield 6, and we are certainly hoping it won’t disappoint. Yet, if you are still eager after the Battlefield 6 open beta and craving more, take a look at Battlefield 2042. It’s genuinely worthwhile at this moment – for two reasons.
Reason 1: Battlefield 2042 is extremely affordable now
Until September 2, 2025, Battlefield 2042 is available for only $3 on Steam, which represents a staggering 95 percent discount. The bundle includes the standard game with all maps and modes. For $13.50, you can obtain the Elite Edition. This edition contains all the content released in the first year of Battlefield 2042, which includes additional specialists, new weapons, and more. Our suggestion: Start with the base game first – you can still upgrade until September 2.
Reason 2: Battlefield 2042 has just received a significant patch
No one anticipated this: Battlefield 2042 got a thorough content update right before the open beta of Battlefield 6, even though the game is technically in its so-called sunsetting phase, implying it is slowly being phased out to pave the way for the sequel. And this update is quite substantial.
With Iwo Jima, you receive a complimentary remake of a renowned Battlefield map, featuring an active volcano. Splinter Cell enthusiasts will also appreciate the KFS2000, a new sniper rifle, two new fighter jets, and a free Battle Pass containing 60 ranks full of cosmetics that you can unlock in-game.
All of this wasn’t essential, so DICE certainly merits recognition for offering the community such a present. The update is already active, allowing you to explore the new content for $3. Battlefield 6 is set to launch on October 10, 2025, in less than two months.
