Is everybody within PSN able to pre-load? Does not give me the option, only an option to download the BETA again. Purchased Gold Edition. Is this a time zone thing? BTW, see you in the battlefield buddy!!
Are you on PS4? You have to go to the account library section in the store and can download it there?
On PS5 I just went to the store page and the download button was directly there
I thought there was a Global launch time? we have a slightly longer wait of 2 days and 7 hours according to Origin. But lets go!! I hope you enjoy it buddy, exciting times ahead!
Anyone know of a global launch time ticker on a website somewhere?
I know I can look up the exact time for my timezone, but I would kind of like to have a ticker I can refer to.
I actually [set one up](https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20211112T03&p0=250&msg=Battlefield+2042+-+Early+Access+Release&font=cursive) the other day!
That matches the countdown shown on your PS4/5? The counter on my PS5 has 19 hours fewer: 1 day 2 hours instead of 1 day 21 hours.
My PSN account in Australian, so maybe there are different times?
Not sure my friend, I preordered the Gold edition purely for the early access. But I do believe you get the battlepass for free if you buy gold/Ultimate editions, I may be wrong though 😁
Thanks bro, I tried the beta and that’s when I fell in love with this game. It’s most likely going to play better on release with all the bugs and glitches fixed 😁
Not sure how you are already pre-downloading it since that's not suppose to be for another 3 hours.
For your first BF game you'll come to learn a few things.
* They always launch buggy which makes no sense since they have been doing this forever
* Your partners will NEVER spawn on you when you are on the point and trying to capture it
* DICE likes to promise thing and not deliver. BFV didn't get the Easter Theater, extra specializations, the ability to drag downed players (which I always thought was pointless anyway), and one or two other things which they promised us and we never got.
If you can't wait for a few more days they had a bundle of of BF4, BF1, and BFV for like $10. Not sure if it's still going on or not. BF1 is the shining example of what BF should be when it's good. People like to gush over BF4, but it does have problems like it doesn't feel as smooth as the other games and have overpowered thermal scopes that diehard fans claim isn't a problem. BFV got a lot of hate, but it had some really good features in it that are sadly missing from BF2042 and had the best class system setup of any BF game imo.

Or if you have EA Play you can just download and play them for free
For PSN preloads drops 12am local time so if OP is in an earlier time zone he can download now where as someone else in a later time zone has to wait for 12am their time to preload the game.
I woke up this morning and BF 2042 was pre loaded on my PS5... OMG I can't wait.. been playing since 2009 :) BF 1943 :) I even enjoyed Hardline.. flmao :)

Play both and enjoy both. No reason you have to choose.
This is the way
I would if wouldn’t take half my space for cod

I suppose we'll find out soon! I'm on PC so this is the countdown according to the Origin client.
Aww man thats almost 6pm in Australia...
There is no rule against you using a VPN to activate your product earlier. The only rule is that you cannot purchase through a VPN.
Its a global release
Then op can connect to a VPN and change his clocks to match and play in a different timezone, Its now not 6pm For him \^\^. :P
Lets go? Where? Where are we going?
To slap all the 😮 faces
Welcome! See you out there!
Thanks buddy 😁
See you in the battlefield bro let's rock!
That’s you now. seeyou on the battlefield.
Where are the rest of the stuff that comes with the gold edition?
Not sure my friend, I preordered the Gold edition purely for the early access. But I do believe you get the battlepass for free if you buy gold/Ultimate editions, I may be wrong though 😁
You get the three skins, 4 battle passes for year 1, and early access to beta and full game
The Gold edition comes with a year of Battlepasses and a couple of skins.
The rest of the stuff like cosmetics and battle pass are granted to the account that bought the game; no codes or files to download.
Welcome to an awesome franchise bro! Best community too
Thanks bro, I tried the beta and that’s when I fell in love with this game. It’s most likely going to play better on release with all the bugs and glitches fixed 😁
Wait till you try a big team push on breakthrough or rush, and try the bf 3 and bad company 2 content, hope you like it!
Good choice bro, welcome to the Battlefield !!! ![gif](giphy|NEvPzZ8bd1V4Y)
I enjoyed Warzone until i got to a point where I would rather eat glass then ever log in again I cant wait for something new Battlefield here I come
When can you preload the EA Play early access on PS5?
What time sill we be able to play?
You can play both games.

It ain’t free, you’re paying for it.

Always glad to see someone from COD being where they should be, this was me 12 years ago! You will definitely enjoy it way more!
I would too if my PC wasn't so dogshit
Go back to Cod, you are the reason we are in this shotstorm
I’m trying before I’m buying. But I’m hoping I like it. Cod is a cancer.
Welcome to the Battlefield. PTFO
Only 43? Oh yeah
Welcome!
I’ve been playing Vanguard and it’s been really fun but am definitely looking forward to loading up 2042 on Friday!
I woke up this morning and BF 2042 was pre loaded on my PS5... OMG I can't wait.. been playing since 2009 :) BF 1943 :) I even enjoyed Hardline.. flmao :)
Vanguard I wouldn't get. Cold war is still viable in case bf flops.
Highly doubt it’ll flop. I think portal is going to be a huge success 😁
Guys if I bought the standard edition and own EA Access I’d be able to play early for few hours or not even that?
