Here is everything you need to know about the new Battlefield 2042 3.2 update and all the changes coming to the game.
The full patch notes for Battlefield 2042’s next major update have been posted by DICE. The 3.2 update will be available on January 20 and will mostly include bug fixes and stability improvements. Fixes for hit-registration difficulties are included in the patch, and occurrences of rubberbanding in particular cases should be improved. The patch also fixes a bug that caused players to get locked in a loop of being downed but still alive.
The Battlefield 2042 3.2 update will be available on January 20 at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET, and it will be a “zero downtime” update, meaning players will be able to play immediately after the download is complete. There was no mention of the installation’s size. After that, in February, another update will arrive with more quality-of-life changes and additional features, including the long-awaited redesigned Scoreboard UI.
