Battlefield 2042 Next-Gen vs Past-Gen
The price increase forPlayStation 5and Xbox Series X/S games looks like it is here to stay but there are some major differences betweenBattlefield 2042on the older generation of consoles and the new one. While PS4 and Xbox One will still have the game’s impressive maps and some pretty big 64-player lobbies, the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S versions will boast both larger map and 128-player lobby sizes.
On PC and the new generation of consoles, the maps will have some seriously massive scale, which is saying a lot considering theBattlefieldfranchise’s history with dynamic multiplayer maps. Those players that get the game on either PC or next-gen consoles they will be able to play with double the players on even large maps than otherBattlefieldgames.
It has been a long wait and there is still more to come out aboutBattlefield 2042but with how little time there is between today’s reveal and the release these next few months will be packed. The next week will be even more exciting as more info comes out about the game andE3 2021kicks into full gear. Hopefully, today is only a taste of what this weekend will bring for the gaming community.
Battlefield 2042is releasing October 22 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
