The developers at DICE want to “show [their] love for the Battlefield community by opening the doors to the Battlefield 1 Turning Tides free trial.” While flowers and chocolates might be a more traditional Valentine’s Day gift, I’m sure many gamers out there will prefer free and total access to BF1 and all of its expansions!
Here’s the official announcement:
“It’s Valentine’s Day – and we want to show our love for the Battlefield™ community by opening the doors to the Battlefield 1 Turning Tides Free Trial. The trial will let all Battlefield 1 owners try the amphibious warfare across four new maps, as well as the previous Battlefield 1 expansion packs, up until February 19*. As we look back on the road leading up to Battlefield 1 Turning Tides, it’s been an amazing journey. We want to thank you for being part of it.”
The Battlefield 1 free trial is live right now, and will run up until February 19.
While the most recent expansion, Turning Tides, is where you’ll likely want to spend most of your time, I’d recommend giving all maps a try, as they all offer their own unique challenges to overcome.
In addition to the Battlefield 1 free trial, DICE has also shared an infographic, which details a bunch of milestones accomplished by the community. For example, there’s a total of 25 million Battlefield 1 players, who have spent 1.1 billion hours in-game. The game also holds six Guinness World Record titles, and the most popular in-game class is Assault. The comically awful Kolibri pistol has dished out 1.8 million deaths.
Take a look at the infographic here for the complete list of stats, and see where you fit in.
