The Battlefield 2042 developers have finally decided to add an update to their game, and fans are really loving it. Battlefield 2042 came out late in 2021 as the latest title of the series. Fans from different parts of the world celebrated its release, as they had anticipated the game for years. This helped its developers earn a massive revenue as the game sold millions of copies in the first few weeks.

However, the game’s shiny success took a dark turn in time as users walked out from it. To mention some numbers, the DICE-owned game clocked 105,397 users at release compared to 3,149 in the last month.

As a result, the devoted fans constantly complained about not finding players to match up in the game. On the other hand, the franchise also suffered a heavy blow, as they could barely pass their sales mark.

So, with fresh hopes of turning the game’s future, DICE decided to drop some massive updates and improve the game entirely.

DICE has promised an improved Battlefield experience to fans, as they have relentlessly worked for the upcoming update. They have balanced out the guns that seemed to be overpowered and nerfed the Stealth chopper K30 and BSVM. Apart from this, their community manager has confirmed pulling out the aim assist bug on consoles that affected gameplay. 

With such massive updates dropping in August, DICE and EA are aiming to fix the game and attract its long-lost players. However, the possibility of this working perfectly for them is not 100%.
