Battlefield 2042's rough launch was about six months ago now, believe it or not, and the wheels finally seem to be in motion regarding future updates. Ahead of the season one launch this summer, DICE is delivering a pretty big update later this month, and there are some big changes coming.
First up, the previously promised scoreboard update and voice chat additions are finally coming in April's update. The scoreboard will now feature an end of round summary once matches wrap up, and players will actually be able to voice chat... in an online shooter.
Next up, a weapon attachment overhaul is in place for the update, with DICE wanting the changes to "have an impact on your loadout choice and gunplay".
Elsewhere, the infamous 'Bolte' vehicle — which has wreaked havoc on the battlefield since launch — is being altered, among other vehicle, specialist and equipment changes. Finally, XP gains are being adjusted, with ribbons and in-game actions set to hand out more XP.
DICE says that the full patch notes are coming next week, with the update to follow later on in April. As seems to be the norm with Battlefield 2042, details on release times are scarce, but hopefully this update has a big impact for players later this month.
Are you still interested in 2042? Can DICE turn things around? Let us know in the comments.

Been out for 6 months and the update is later this month, playercount is dwindling as well, who else thinks it'll drop on the pass? Not that I want it though
@Cherip-the-Ripper It'll drop on EA Play sooner rather than later, I can't imagine it'll be anything more than a few months.
It really needs to drop on ea play and game pass. Player count is so low. Less then 750 in portal game modes. Need more maps and content. Can’t believe the season isn’t dropping till this summer.
Unless it goes f2p, too little, too late. No one is looking at this update, without thinking "what other slew of problems will be introduced with this patch". 1 step forward, 1 fall back.
@FraserG one would think the time is ripe right now. It took bfv 8 months and this game, even for ea's standards has had a more disastrous launch.
@Halucigens I agree with you!
EA needed to focus on making a Battlefront 3! But instead we got battlefield 2042, which was terrible at launch. Of course no game is perfect, but out of all the other terrible games I’ve played before this was the worst in my opinion. It had so many bugs, glitches, lack of content and so much more. We all got ripped off with this game! It’s been about 2 1/2 months I haven’t played or had interest in playing battlefield 2042. Barely yesterday I got on to play and I waited and waited to join a match. 15 minutes later passed still waiting, I quit the game and played the new Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga game. I don’t think this update will bring back gamers to battlefield 2042 but you never know I could be wrong about that!
