Not a lot....
....Midnight bundle, artwork and soundtrack. I pre-purchased the Ultimate version, but not convinced that the additional cost was worth the add-ons.
The game itself, access to the Beta and early access to the game are identical.
- @INVALID_USER14 You can see them here:

Gold and Ultimate give one week of early access to the full game and other than that cosmetic stuff. If you're interested in cosmetics I encourage you to click the URL and see what's in it for you. @INVALID_USER14@lzilchetlis correct here. The only differences between the Gold and Ultimate Edition of Battlefield 2042 are the "Midnight bundle", artwork and soundtrack.
Not necessarily a pointless topic for discussion, but likely not one where we can influence change...@carsono311I think maybe I would have gone for gold if someone pointed out the difference. Tend to worry that I've not understood the battlepass/DLC deal . So worth being here I guess to clarify for some if they are not fussed about the additional content
- @lzilchetl Yeah, I suspect many people, myself included, are really not sure what to expect with the “Year 1 Pass”. Like what are the “Battle Passes”? Are they worth the money? I think I can guess what they are, but you get my point…
I am fortunate to have the disposable income to spend on the Ultimate Edition, even if it ends up being a poor value, but it would be nice if the differences in editions were better explained / delineated. - @carsono311 Agree exactly. I think I sort of assumed that the ultimate would have either an additional pass or some levelling up, or other content over the year, but didn't look too closely. Not sure I would have paid for cosmetics only. I've always gone for the top package. The battle pass thing... Hope you don't get a level reset each time like Warzone... Find that annoying.
- @lzilchetl quite sure the "midnight pack" could be exclusive to the Ultimate, like items in past games
not everyone would think it's worth the upgrade, but some do

not everyone would think it's worth the upgrade, but some do@m1k3ol I'm not complaining. My choice I know, and I'll stick by it. I know there was no premium edition for BFV but the pattern before was the top level package gave you access to content like maps, weapons or subscriptions to DLCs. The only description we had for the bundle with the 2042 Ultimate was this...
...if you are a newcomer to BF or someone who isn't paying attention (like me) its not clear if you are getting a weapon and a gadget (alongside the character skin) or cosmetics. If you have not been following the narrative you wont necessarily know that ranger is already accessible. Certainly not clear at the point of sale, unless you tell me I have missed something - which I usually do!
- @lzilchetl Absolutely agreed, it needs a better description, for sure
My previous message was more about the differences themselves, as that package probably be unobtainable later (other than getting ultimate)
I'm for Ultimate, too - Hello @INVALID_USER14
Ultimate Edition just has few more skins and digital Soundtracks & Arts as bonus. 🙂
