The latest installment in the Battlefield series by Electronic Arts, Battlefield 2042, came out on November 19, 2021. For the first time in this series, crossplay was introduced. DICE, however, received mixed reviews upon this title's release from players and critics alike due to severe optimization issues and bugs that were slowly brushed out via updates and hotfixes.

Just like its predecessors, BF2042 is a multiplayer-focused first-person shooter. However, this particular title lacks a single-player campaign. Furthermore, the game is set in the near future, which gave DICE the opportunity to include futuristic weaponry as well as deployable gadgets, turrets, and drones.

The title also debuted a feature that allows players to modify their weapons on the fly.
