Battlefield 2042 demo

Does anyone have an official source whether or not there will be a demo version of Battlefield 2042?

Preordering and 'playing the beta' is not exactly what I'm looking for. Even though I can refund my money, of course.

    There will be a open beta in september, we dont know exact date but they always do it so you will be able to try the game a weekend before the release :P If you pre-order you will have early access to open beta like 1 or 2days before everyone same for the release 

  • @infantrypeasant I guess the closest thing there's been to a 'demo' would probably have been that closed playtest (it wasn't an actual demo though of course). Other than that it would be a case of waiting for the beta I believe.
  • Probably not but you can rent it (and all of EA's library) for a month with EA Play Pro. Could also set up a throwaway account and go with the cheaper EA play for a 10 hour trial.

    @INVALID_USER14 This.
    Kind of important to draw that distinction, both for good and bad aspects.
    Demo (to me at least) means a snippet of the final product, but seeing as patching/tweaking is done on the fly in almost every game these days, i'm not sure a demo of any kind would really be worthwhile.

    Look at outriders, that demo was good, but even if it *was* a snippet of the final game it wasn't reflective of the game's state on launch at all (in this case due to massive droprate nerfs).
