There is indeed cross-commerce/cross-progression in Battlefield 2042, however, it is stated as follows:
"While there are a few limitations to cross-progression we want to make you aware of, such as Special Edition cosmetics, the Digital Artbook & Soundtrack, unspent Premium Currency and pre-order items not carrying over, we’re excited about giving you the freedom to play and progress wherever you choose to play."
More information can be found on our website.
Regarding the Year 1 Pass; more information on the Passes to come in the future! Keep an eye out on our official channels for news & updates!
So, you are saying the Year 1 pass will not cross over and I will have to purchase it separately on Xbox in order to access content?
- @denogginizer Also, I am speaking of the Year1 pass, not preorder items or special edition cosmetics.

@denogginizer, at the moment there is, unfortunately, no specific news available if the Year 1 Pass will carry over or that it has to be purchased separately on the platforms you play the game on and want to make use of the Pass, therefore I have mentioned: more information on the Passes (how/what) to come in the future! Keep an eye out on our official channels for news & updates. 🙂
I suggest you make that distinction of the year pass not being a “purchase” that crosses over from the platform you purchased it on to others. I bought the XSX version under the false impression that a year 1 pass was “purchase” and would be accessible. To be honest, I feel mislead given that the Year 1 pass is the only purchase one can make for BF2042.
Very misleading, I agree.
- @EA_Leeuw Can you then explain what “purchases” if not the Year 1 Pass will carry over from PlayStation to Xbox or PC or vice versa? I am enjoying the game quite a bit and have been playing since it’s inception. This matter is undercutting the joy quite a bit. One typically does not warm well to misleading marketing involving $40 purchases.
Basically any cosmetics from the in game mtx store

Can confirm that using Year 1 Pass content on one platform causes loadout resets when playing on other platforms. Stats carry over, but the cosmetics and gun loadouts reset to baseline when you load into a new game. I have had to unselect all cosmetics on PS5. Basically, buying the year 1 pass and two copies of the game on different platforms is negating the only available year 1 pass content. Hardly worth the extra $40 paid early. But I guess once you have that money, it is not a big enough concern. I will not buy a second year 1 pass. Ridiculous.
Any updates?
