If you subscribe to EA Play Pro, you get access to the Ultimate Edition of Battlefield 2042. So you get early access and the whole game when it releases.

Another method is to own an EA Play or Game Pass subscription. Every subscriber of either service will be able to test out Battlefield 2042 also on Nov. 12. But this is a limited 10 hour Trial Version of the game. Once your time runs out, you cannot play early access again until you either upgrade to EA Play Pro or buy a specific edition of it.

It is a great way to see if the game runs smoothly on your platform, test-out performance and connectivity, and see if you will like the game at all without spending any additional money when Battlefield 2042 releases on Nov. 19.
