Battlefield 2042 finally arrived on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate this week, a year since it first launched back in 2021. Even at release, we enjoyed it a fair bit despite its shortcomings, yet we were eager to see how the game was going to progress throughout 2022.
While the underpinnings of the game remain similar, it's safe to say DICE has made quite a few additions and changes over the last year, as we've highlighted in our updated review. Some of the post-launch maps are much improved over the base game offerings, and as expected, a number of bugs and glitches have been ironed out.
As the game is now free for EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, we want to know how you have been getting on with the game so far. Whether you're a long-time Battlefield fan that skipped 2042 at launch, or you've never played a Battlefield game before, are you impressed?
We've been back online, and to be honest, a lot of our time has been spent soaking up more of Battlefield Portal. All of BF 2042's post-launch content is now available within the custom game playground, and we've been having quite a lot of fun mixing and matching it all with some Battlefield maps and modes of old. Seriously, Portal is still one of the game's true highlights!
How have you been finding Battlefield 2042 on Game Pass Ultimate? Let us know down below.

Good. Not as bad as people make it out to be but not great. Wish it had a campaign.
Gave it a try...
Felt better than when I tried the awful beta, but still not for me, so uninstalled.
Glad they improved it for the people that enjoy that kinda thing though 👍
Honestly really enjoying it this time around. They seem to have improved it a hell of a lot since launch.
Rated it a 2/10 because I played it at launch. Not coming back to it. I could see the game improving to maybe 5/10 or even 6/10 tier, but, man, the game was awful at launch and I’m not even talking about it’s poor technical performance. You couldn’t discern between teams, it took months for voice chat to get integrated, and level design just really wasn’t that good. It could be a visual wonder when it worked well with fine enough gameplay, but that’s about it. It’s a rough title.
Considering I refuse to enable cross play so Conquest is essentially useless... 1/10.
The 1 is because I can play against bots.
It's OK, but something about it feels a bit flaccid. Maybe I've just been playing FPSs for too many years, but 2042 just lacks any soul to me.
Enjoying it, maps have really improved.
Portal has some great games on it
@BBB I wish I could say the same. But I don't want to just play the same map over and over, so I've been trying regular Conquest and it's been a bust so far.
It's better than when I played the beta but my goodness after one year this game still feels so unfinished. And on my series X on certain maps I still have visual glitches with the sky and so on.
I'd still rather go back and play BF1 or BF5 or even Battlefront 2 if I wanted my Battlefield fill.
It's ok. But without the destruction. It's just not battlefield.
I haven't found it yet
To be honest, Like other people here have said, It’s alright and much better than when released last year thanks to the updates but for me it doesn’t feel like Battlefield. There was somebody that mentioned in the comments that it lacks any soul and they’re spot on about that.
played it at launch its btter but still not anywhere good enough to stay installed. id rather stick to cod and apex.
Well I found it...
No campaign, no thanks
