So Gamespot says this about Battlefield 2042 & it's interesting

DICE and EA announced four other partnerships in preparation for Battlefield 2042's October release: Nvidia (for the "ultimate PC experience"), Logitech (to "ensure players have Logitech integration"), Polaris (to "bring players the opportunity to operate authentic Polaris vehicles in Battlefield 2042"), and WD_BLACK (to ensure "gamers have the best possible gaming experience").

 

 

Nvidia will probably help integrate Ray Tracing, DLSS, and Reflex low latency mode. Just to name a few 

 

I can see Microsoft sending somebody over to help make sure Battlefield runs great on Xbox's DirectX API, because it's pretty complicated to work with due to the wide array of hardware it has to run across in the PC space.

 

We've seen settings for Logitech headphones in BF1's audio menu, but I'm also hoping for Logitech mouse support on Xbox too. 😉

 

I'm guessing Polaris is allowing them to use their branding and likeness on some of the vehicles in Battlefield. So when you climb onto a Polaris ATV, the handlebars and rest of the vehicle looks exactly like a Polaris ATV. I imagine Polaris wants all the kids asking their parents for Polaris ATVs on their birthday after playing Battlefield 2042. 😁

 

The Western Digital Black one has me a little stumped though. DICE might be using some of their SSD drives to set an acceptable baseline performance level, and using that to compare the performance of other SSD drives againts. In return for advertising their product, Western Digital is probably supplying DICE with SSDs to use in testing.

 

Sounds good! But I wish DICE would integrate Sony's Tempest 3D audio into Battlefield. Then maybe sounds would stop cutting out and battery powered stealth tanks would stop sneaking up on us. I checked the PlayStation 5 store page, but saw no mention of DualSense haptic vibration or Tempest 3D audio support in Battlefield. ☹️
