EA Play Pro vs. Standard Version

Hello!

I recently bought a new gaming rig and it came with an Nvidia promo which gives me BF2042 for free. The version it gives you is the standard version, however I want to be able to play on the 12th. 

My plan is to get 1 month of EA Play Pro (which gives me BF2042 Ultimate Edition, which I can play on the 12th), and then after 1 month (with the subscription cancelled), go back to the standard version I have (which is already linked to my Origin account).

I was wondering if this is a viable strategy? Will things work smoothly if I get Play Pro (even though I have the BF 2042 standard already), and will my progress seamlessly transfer over to the standard version?

Thank you in advance.

    It certainly is a viable strategy to get you into Battlefield 2042 Early Access on the 12th.

    Yes, when you let the EA Play Pro subscription expire, the game version will switch to your Standard Edition, stand-alone purchase at that time. There will be no loss of progress or unlocks as long as the Standard Edition has been redeemed under the same EA Account as the EA Play Pro account.

    The only issue worth noting is that EA Play Pro will include the Ultimate Edition of Battlefield 2042 as you mentioned, so you may lose some cosmetic items when you switch down to the Standard Edition.

  • Fantastic! Thank you very much for the quick reply @carsono311. Really appreciate it.

    I don't particularly care about the cosmetic items, so this sounds like the strategy I'll be going with.

    See you on the battlefield!

  • Another quick question if I might. I have EA Pro at the moment for BF2042. Lets say later I decide I want to purchase Ulitmate Edition, will my progress transfer over to the bought version?

    @SystemReset: this shouldn't be a problem if you use the same EA account for both; the progress is linked to the account, not the license that lets you play the game.
    (I started with EA-Play test phase via Gamepass, then bought the standard edition, all stats kept.)
    But maybe better wait until BF2042 is part of EA-Play (not Pro), or be really sure that the game and its current status is worth your money!
