One of 2021’s biggest gaming bombs is going free on PlayStation Plus

Nothing to lose but bandwidth and time if you're a PS+ subscriber.

Every now and then, in an age of gaming where publishers often think they can get away with shipping a half-baked product to patch up later, a title gets launched that is SO bad, we write it off and forget about it almost immediately.

Well, your mostly risk-free opportunity to see if Battlefield 2042 is worthy of redemption has arrived, because the troubled shooter is part of the March lineup of free PlayStation Plus games, ed by Minecraft Dungeons and Code Vein. 

If you recall, Battlefield 2042 was an unmitigated disaster when it launched. While, surprisingly, press outlets listed on review aggregator we didn’t think it was all that great), reviews were much less than favorable, landing at a 2.6 out of 10. This was a result of an abundance of issues it launched with, being plagued by performance issues and lacking basic features like voice chat or even a scoreboard. 

With all that said, in the year and a half since its launch, the game has received numerous updates which addressed a lot of the above problems and made it much more playable and palatable to fans of Battlefield games of old. Now that the only currency invested in getting your hands on it is time, internet bandwidth, and an active PlayStation Plus subscription, it could be worth checking out. Your call. At least it won’t become a regrettable purchase.

Meanwhile, upper-tier PlayStation Plus subscribers will be getting access to Rainbow Six Extraction, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Tchia, and Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection.
