Deal | Steam sale features deal for popular AAA multiplayer shooter game discounted to $2.99
With the second Battlefield 6 open beta now complete, fans of EA’s shooter game series are exploring alternatives. However, Battlefield 2042 is still receiving updates and is now $2.99 during a new Steam sale. Despite multiplayer-only gameplay, buyers may find enough value to occupy them until its follow-up arrives.
Although excluded from this Steam deal, console players can also purchase Battlefield 2042 at a discount. Xbox and PS4 gamers have the option to order the game for $4.99 at Amazon.
Battlefield 2042 entices first-person shooter fans who enjoy exploring massive maps. Up to 128 players fill the futuristic battlegrounds, which can result in explosive encounters. Still, players often find they need calculated strategies to achieve victory. The Battlefield franchise contrasts Call of Duty with its smaller maps and more aggressive play style.
The performance issues at the Battlefield 2042 release date are partly to blame for its mixed ratings. Players experienced frame rate drops with the Steam game, input lag when firing, and server disconnects. While some issues persist, updates have made playing the title less frustrating.
Why players continue to support Battlefield 2042
When functioning properly, the graphics in Dice's shooter game display some creative elements. Because the environments can be altered, players may seek cover behind wreckage. Another distinctive feature is dynamic weather, where visibility is restricted by storms.
Another reason why Battlefield 2042 retains a player base as a Steam game is its sandbox qualities. Portal allows gamers to design unique gameplay experiences. Customizable rules keep matches fresh, while players can combine weapons and soldiers from multiple eras.
To tide gamers over until Battlefield 6 arrives on October 10th, EA continues to support its predecessor. A recent Battlefield 2042 update debuted fresh maps, vehicles, and weapons to experiment with. Players who try the free Battlepass or have participated in the Battlefield 6 open beta can also unlock additional rewards.
The Steam sale, which reduces Battlefield 2042 to $2.99, expires on September 2nd.
