I am trying to pre-order the Ultimate Edition of Battlefield 2042 for the PS5, but I cannot seem to find anywhere that is allowing preorders for a physical/disk version. Either if its a mom-and-pop retailer or big chains like BestBuy or GameStop, the only physical preorders they have for BF 2042 are for the Standard Edition.
My question is, are there going to be physical/disk versions for the Gold & Ultimate editions, or are these editions of the game exclusive to digital storefronts and ownership only?
I can't imagine that to be the case: why would I be denied content for simply wanting to purchase a physical version of the game?
Thank you in advance,

110% dude....I called Gamestop and told them to 'push' for those 2 (Gold n Ultimate) physical discs.
I pre-ordered the standard version disc for my PS5.....and will wait and see if the other 2 editions pop up with physical discs...then cancel and pre order those.
If I have to miss out on a couple of minor things so I can have a disc, no problem. This game, as of now, seems to be bad-a@@ enough, that I won't be missing out on the few perks with the gold n Ultimate. 🍺
I wonder if anyone else is as concerned with this... even reaching out to EA tech support has yielded nothing in terms of information or results.
- 4 years ago@Zumester I mostly just want to avoid that massive download you know is incoming lol. Any guesses on how big this game will be? Even with Kraken compression on PS5, I'm guessing at least 65-70GB.
- 4 years ago@ArchAngeL-PCX Ha, yea...I'm hoping there will be physical Gold and Ultimate editions that have some type of code that can be used the 15th.....and get the download out of the way.
And I'd say you're close with file size bro...probably even higher. Glad I have fiber internet 🍻- Zumester4 years agoNew Traveler
Does having a disk reduce time necessary to download the game? If so, that’s an even bigger incentive to get the physical version.
Do the perks of the Gold and Ultimate editions still become purchasable at a later date? For example, if I bought standard and bought the perks of ultimate (mainly the battle pass), would I still be paying roughly the same amount?
- 4 years ago@ArchAngeL-PCX IDK that seems pretty big for PS5 especially if the game only has 7 maps at release, I mean it could be but I hope that you're wrong about that size.
- 4 years ago@WhoHackingMe I'm thinking the size without compression could be 100GB or even more. So far i've seen Kraken compression reduce size approximately by 40% in games like Control, Sackboy, and Miles Morales.

I asked GameStop where's the physical gold edition for ps5. They couldn't give me an answer because I hate buying digital versions. I cancelled with them and reordered the standard physical edition through Amazon. I am confused why they expect people to spend a lot of money on a digital gold and ultimate edition. You don't get anything for it except early release. I love steel book editions etc. Horizon Zero Dawn forbidden west has 3 special physical disc editions. Extremely disappointed.
- tyl04134 years agoSeasoned Veteran@warcloud7777 Because they're trying to kill physical, they already did to be honest because the game won't play offline so what's the disc good for anyways at that point.

So far there are no physical disc versions available for GOLD or ULTIMATE Editions.
And EA have so far not mentioned either that there ever will be any physical versions of those editions.
The resellers that are selling like a physical pack of the GOLD or ULTIMATE Editions are in reality just postal mailing you an empty DVD sleeve or similar, in which you have a paper with the redeem code printed for you to download from.
