Battlefield 2042 is a 2021 first-person shooter game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts. The twelfth main installment in the Battlefield series, it was released on November 19, 2021, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Unlike previous games in the series, Battlefield 2042 is solely multiplayer and does not have a single-player campaign. It is also the first installment to feature support for cross-platform play.
The game received mixed reviews from critics and a negative reception from players for its technical issues, lack of features, and certain changes to the gameplay. The game failed to meet the sales expectations of Electronic Arts. A new Battlefield installment, co-developed by DICE, Motive Studios, Ripple Effect Studios and Criterion Games, is in development and planned for release in FY 2026.
