The Battlefield 2042 January 2022 update release date will be anticipated by many. Developer DICE will soon be on its winter break, meaning radio silence until the crew gets back from seeing their families and friends while celebrating the holidays. For those eager to learn when the next BF2042 update will release for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, here’s the need-to-know info.
When is the Battlefield 2042 January 2022 update release date?
The Battlefield 2042 January 2022 update release date is expected after January 17.
With developer DICE going on winter break, previous holidays have seen the team returning to work for the second half of January. The first BF2042 update is therefore expected to drop towards the latter end of January.
Of course, this estimate is based purely on January patches rolled out for other EA DICE games. It’s possible that the update could be released earlier or later. Fans should learn more after the new year rolls around.
Until then, Battlefield 2042 players will have to make do with the last update of 2021. The biggest changes included hit registration tweaks to make shooting more consistent. Rooftop objectives were also removed from certain Breakthrough maps. The final highlight was for Xbox users, which allowed them to disable cross-play to avoid having to matchmake with PlayStation and PC users.
DICE also rolled out a bunch of weapon buffs and nerfs, presumably based on feedback from players received during the first couple of weeks following launch.
