When will Battlefield 2042 come to Xbox Game Pass
Battlefield 2042 was a nightmare of a release in 2021, but its appearance on the Xbox Game Pass could throw it a new lease of life.

As things stand, Battlefield 2042 has been under a lot of fire. Irrespective of DICE's repairs, the game will be dead if it doesn't have players.
