Summarize your bug I bought BF 2042 Gold Edition in 2021. Ever since launch I have been unlocking/receiving premium cosmetics on battlepass for free because gold edition comes with premium. However, since downloading Season 5, my entire game description has been downgraded to a standard edition. My purchase transaction history shows gold edition, but on PS5 Home Screen, the game now says standard edition.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? The bug has downgraded my bf 2042 gold edition to a standard edition.

What should be happening instead? Unlocking premium cosmetics on battlepass

I bought BF 2042 Gold Edition in 2021. Ever since launch I have been unlocking/receiving premium cosmetics on battlepass for free because gold edition comes with premium.

However, since downloading Season 5, my entire game description has been downgraded to a standard edition.

My purchase transaction history shows gold edition, but on PS5 Home Screen, the game now says standard edition. Please fix this. Feels like robbery.

    Gold edition came with the year 1 pass of 4 seasons. We have gone past that and are now in season 5. You got all the content that you paid for, and now we're on to more. Gold edition/year 1 pass is now over.

    as @JD_W0LF said your gold edition came with a pass for the first 4 seasons, we're now in season 5 so from now on you can use your saved BF Coins or real money to pay for the premium battlepass. Mark this issue as resolved.

    Hello everyone,

    I wanted to give you a quick update regarding some recent changes to the threads. I have merged a few threads together that were discussing the same topic to keep everything organized.

    I've noticed there's some confusion about the Season 5 Premium Battle Pass variant and its inclusion in the Battlefield 2042 Gold and/or Ultimate Edition, as well as EA Play Pro and the Year 1 Pass.

    Let me clarify that the Season 5 Premium Battle Pass variant is not included in the Battlefield 2042 Gold and/or Ultimate Edition or the Year 1 Pass. These editions only grant you access to the Premium Battle Pass rewards*** for Seasons 1 to 4. If you're interested in the Premium variant of the Season 5 Battle Pass or anything beyond Seasons 1 to 4, you'll need to purchase it separately. 

    For more details, you can visit this link: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/season-5-new-dawn.

    I hope this clears things up for you. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

    *Free Battle Pass content requires gameplay to unlock.

    **Premium Battle Pass content requires Season 5 Battle Pass (sold separately) and gameplay to unlock. Requires Battlefield 2042 and all game updates to play.

    Clears up the fact that we were tricked . . . . yes legal I guess but still. Basically the game is over or dead. Ill read the fine print on EA's next game and be sure if this * is pulled then yea ill pass. Def not buying any ultimate editions. I don't even need the stuff but these days they make you buy the game and then the missions. like without these goals and rewards wtf are we playing for. back in the day i played to unlock a weapon...now you cant earn * without paying an extra $20. in this economy and with the battles between gaming companies, should have just left it be. Board members do not play games kids do. Also most kids do not earn this kinda money. I think this may be where my 18 years with battlefield ends.

    the free spots are like a slap in the face.

    @Radeint No weapons or vehicles are behind a paywall in a season pass for the life of this game. The only things earned with premium are other skins/boins/xp boosts (I assume).

    That is indeed correct.

    Probably because a key feature of the Ultimate edition was a year of the premium battlepass, which was seasons 1 through 4, which are long gone.
