Battlefield 2042 is finally arriving for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC tomorrow, November 19, and if you are an EA Play subscriber, you can actually play it right now. 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.
PC: Simultaneous launch on November 19 at midnight PT / 3 AM ET.

9 PM PT, 12:30 AM IST, 11 PM BRTYou can pre-load the game now. If you want to make sure you are playing the second the servers go live, this is the way to do it.
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.
