Battlefield 2042 is officially out now, and things haven’t exactly been going according to plan. On 21st Nov 2021, Battlefield 2042 became one of the worst-rated games on Steam with over 15k negative reviews, and the fans are expressing their frustration.

Battlefield 2042 was officially released on 19th Nov 2021, and it has been just 3 days since its release and it’s already found itself in trouble. The game doing poorly isn’t just bad news for the devs but also for the fans who had been waiting for the game since it was first announced.

Battlefield 2042: not beyond fix

It’s also not ideal that the game has managed to get such a bad rep within 3 days of its release. The game seemed to be full of promises when the secret mode, Portal, was revealed. Unfortunately, things didn’t turn out as expected.

With Rockstar’s GTA Definitive Edition not doing well either, these last couple of weeks haven’t been nice to gamers. But, it’s not like there’s no hope, as a lot of games are off to a rough start post-launch. And, more often than not, they manage to turn things around. Fans hope it’ll be the same with Battlefield 2042.
