As fans have come to expect, Battlefield 2042 features large-scale online multiplayer battles. But, is it possible to play the new Battlefield game without an internet connection? Can you play Battlefield 2042 offline? Here’s the need-to-know info on BF 2042 offline support for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One, and PC.
Is Battlefield 2042 an always-online game or playable offline?
Battlefield 2042 is an always-online game; it isn’t possible to play BF 2042 without an active internet connection.
Does Battlefield 2042 support solo play?
Those with an active internet connection can play Battlefield 2042 solo against bots. It’s possible to play multiplayer matches against A.I. (CPU) opponents, which serves as a form of BF 2042 single-player mode.
Is there a Battlefield 2042 single-player story campaign?
While Battlefield 2042 is playable solo versus online bots, there isn’t a single-player campaign mode. Unlike some previous entries in the series, BF 2042 doesn’t feature a story to play through alone offline.
The latest entry in the Battlefield series is a service game, so requires a constant internet connection to play. EA and DICE will release frequent BF 2042 updates, patches, and hotfixes that make for an ever-changing experience. As a side effect of this, users must always be online in order to play the military FPS in any capacity.
It isn’t likely that users will be able to play Battlefield 2042 offline in the future, unfortunately. The game’s DLC roadmap doesn’t make mention of any plans to implement an offline mode, be it a solo story campaign or support for practice matches against bots. While it’s disappointing, this isn’t out of the ordinary for games as a service (GaaS) titles.
