EA might turn Battlefield 2042 into live service

The studio recently held a conference call to discuss the first quarter’s performance of the year.

In other news, EA has stated that it is going to release titles every alternate year as it makes complete sense. It will allow the titles to have their own life cycle, while the developers work on another iteration. Gamers can expect to see another Battlefield game in 2023, all thanks to the pandemic which forced the studio to skip a year.

More news from the community suggests the Battlefield Portal will not have spectator mode. This could seriously hinder player’s ability to broadcast tournament games to the general public. However, it is also possible that the studio might roll out this important feature at a later date.
