Battlefield 2042 is finally arriving for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on November 19, and if you are an EA Play subscriber, you will only have to wait a few more days to play it. The multiplayer-only game is sure to get a big audience trying out its various modes right away, but when exactly can you start playing? Well, some history should give us a pretty good idea of that. Here’s what we know about the Battlefield 2042 unlock time.
Battlefield 2042 Unlock Time
The official unlock times for Battlefield 2042 have been released. They are below, including those that differ from the rest of the regions.

It will be available for PC on November 10 at 10 AM UTC, which is 2 PM PT/ 5 AM ET. It will be available for pre-loading on both PS4 and PS5 at midnight local time on November 10.
EA Play Early Access
It’s worth noting that this date only applies to the standard version. If you have an EA Play membership, you can play a 10-hour trial beginning a full week earlier on November 12, and this is unlimited access at the same time with an EA Play Pro membership. You can also purchase the Gold Edition or the Ultimate Edition to get the game a week earlier, as well, though you’ll be spending significantly more money. EA Play is included for free with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, so you don’t need to do anything extra if you already have one. The times are below:
PC: Simultaneous launch on November 12 at midnight PT / 3 AM ET.
PlayStation: November 12, midnight local time in nearly all regions.
Xbox: November 12, midnight local time in nearly all regions.
Battlefield 2042 will be the first mainline game in the series since Battlefield 2 to not include a campaign. However, it will support both cross-play and cross-progression, albeit with some limitations. If you are on a last-gen system, you will only be able to play with other last-gen players, while those on PC and current-gen systems will be grouped together.
