EA DICE’s latest lab experiment, Battlefield 2042, launches worldwide next Friday. While the early access for EA Play and Xbox Games Pass Subscribers begins tomorrow. Even though the developers hope for a simultaneous release on all platforms in all regions this isn’t always feasible due to platform and regional differences. If you’re wondering what time does 2042 launch or what times does the early access kick-off, you have come to the right place.
