ScreenRant
According to a recent EA press statement, as reported by GameSpot, Xbox systems would be the “official consoles” of Battlefield 2042. The first-person shooter, however, will not be confined to Xbox consoles, since it will be released on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
This collaboration between EA and Microsoft could imply that Xbox players would receive exclusive in-game content or improved performance. The press statement also discloses collaborations with technology company Nvidia, computer peripheral manufacturer Logitech, car manufacturer Polaris, and computer storage developer WD_BLACK.
With the development of Battlefield 2042, DICE appears to be mastering the Battlefield formula, as the new title appears to improve on every facet of previous iterations. Natural disasters like tornadoes appear to be more dynamic than ever in the game’s huge battlefields, with natural calamities such as tornadoes smoothly affecting the flow of warfare.
Hourglass, desert terrain with massive buildings, will have completely destructible structures as well as a dangerous environment. Sandstorms and tornadoes will regularly wreak havoc on players, vehicles, and structures across the map.
DICE has also overhauled the vehicle spawn mechanism in Battlefield 2042, with players no longer having to wait as long as they did in prior iterations to enter a vehicle. Players in the new game can directly spawn in a vehicle to operate, eliminating the need to wait through a menu.
Battlefield 2042 intends to build on the franchise’s legacy in order to soar into the future. The game’s close collaboration with Xbox will very certainly result in ideal performance on those platforms, though the power of the PlayStation 5 will almost certainly result in a fantastic performance as well.
Although no official exclusive content has been published, it appears likely that Xbox players will be given preferential treatment when it is released.
