Battlefield 2042 has been one of the most awaited games slated to release in 2021. Recent beta updates of the game and official release date confirm that the global release date has been postponed.

Oskar said that the ongoing conditions are not allowing the developers to come work in the studios safely. Thus they feel that it is important to take the extra time to deliver on the vision of Battlefield 2042 for the developers working so hard from their homes. Well, this is not the first game whose release has been affected due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Since the game’s launch date and beta release has been delayed, the community is worried about how the game is going to turn out. It is a bit worrying to see the makers postpone their game’s Beta because it will help them rectify the minor errors seen in the current edition of the game. Beta versions are usually released to collect data and test out the games just before their release.
