Community ManagerHey @Zebidiah,
Kompura has it right. If you've got an active EA Play Pro membership you'll get full access to the Ultimate Edition of the game starting on the 15th of October. You don't have to pre-order the game ahead of time.

Community ManagerIf you pre-order the Ultimate Edition or Gold Edition of the game you would still get early access starting on the 15th of October. If you pre-order the Standard Edition you would not get the early access since that is not included with that version of the game.
You can find more info on what is included with each version at this article on the EA Help website.

Hello
excuse me for bothering you but I have a question my question is that I have an active Ea play subscription on my account (not pro) do I have to pre-order the game next to where it will be included in my ea subscription normal play without having to buy it? Thank you very much for your answer 🙂
Community ManagerHi @Tomasdu08,
At launch the full game will only be included with EA Play Pro. If you have a basic EA Play membership you would still need to purchase the game.

Community ManagerYep, the Gold Edition also gets early access starting on the 15th. I updated my earlier post to include that. Thanks for mentioning it!

To clarify further; will the upcoming beta be avalaible for EA Play Pro members without "pre-ordering"?
I am under the impression that having the EA Play Pro yearly subscription includes "pre-order" perks without having to acutally "pre-order"...
Thanks!
@IIMultiverseII Yes. That is the consistent answer here and in this post here:

@carsono311 thanks for the quick response!
If I get all the perks of ultimate version of battlefield 2042 including preorder bonuses via EA play pro and my ea play pro subscription ended say 3 months after and decided to buy the standard version of the battlefield 2042 instead and not renew my ea play subscription, do I still have DLCs, battle passes, and other perks I got from the ultimate version 3 months ago?
Arent they tied to your account? Especially now that Battlefield 2042 supports cross-play and cross-progression so all items and services should be shared among the supported devices.
If what youre saying is true then I wont have the skins, battle pass, etc in PS5 standard version even if I have them from the PC ultimate version of the game?
As far as I know once you acquire an item whether through perks or game progressions it's yours permanently and wont disappear from your locker or inventory just because you play a different edition of the game.
@STORMRAIDR22As long as you have a licensed copy of the Ultimate Edition of the game, whether that be through EA Play Pro or from a stand-alone purchase, you will have access to the associated bonuses included with that Edition.
It will persist and be available on any other platform you have the game installed on. For example, if you have one copy of Ultimate Edition on PS5 and Standard Edition on PC, you will still have the Ultimate Edition bonuses available on both platforms as long as they are linked to the same EA account.
