    Battlefield 2042 Coming to PlayStation Plus in March

    The game is good now. Trust me.

    Battlefield 2042 is in a place where I would consider the game to be good. Great? Eh, maybe a little bit of a stretch. It's been an absolute blast to play over the past few months thanks to DICE's continued efforts to right the wrong that was the game's initial launch.
