I have purchased Battlefield 2042 PS5 Standard edition Physical copy.

I have purchased Battlefield 2042 PS5 Standard edition Physical copy. But not able to play the game. Whenever i insert the CD to play it directs me to Playstation Play subscription. My question can't we play the game with the Standard Edition of PS5 & to play should we buy the Subscription. Please if anyone can assist on this would appreciate. Thank you.

  • Hi ElliotLH, Thank you for the info. So i would need to buy the subscription in order to play the game, right? What is the physical CD for if you know ??

    @i96rlejmt3yz The disc is to install the game itself whereas the subscription would let you play online. Just in case you don't want to buy the subscription, it could be worth checking the retailers return policy.
  • @ElliotLH@. Ok Thank you. But as per the return policy it cannot be returned. But as you mentioned i can buy the subscription to play the game, am i right?

    @i96rlejmt3yz That should be the case, same as I need to pay for Xbox Live to play online. Since I'm not a PlayStation user though I'm a little hazy on the different subscriptions Sony have.

    Hey @i96rlejmt3yz,

    It's indeed correct what @ElliotLH mentions. Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox both have subscriptions that you need to purchase in order to play online multiplayer games (except for F2P games). Unfortunately this is not something that comes from us, but this is a Sony and Microsoft policy.

    Do you currently have a PS+ membership?
  • @EA_Leeuw , No i do not have a PS+ membership yet. So this means i have to purchase the membership to play the Battlefield 2042 game, is that right?

    @i96rlejmt3yz, yes, I am afraid that's indeed the case. PlayStation sadly won't allow you to make use of Multiplayer features if you don't own PS+.
  • @i96rlejmt3yz I have the same issue I will never ever buy any of there products . I will lose my money but the hell with them they can’t sell an item and force people to buy a subscription . I will be sure not to buy there products will have it posted all over the social media
