Battlefield 2042’s Scoreboard Patch Delayed To Focus On Other Improvements

DICE has delayed the launch of Bat­tle­field 2042’s 3.3 update, which will add the long-await­ed refreshed score­board UI, among oth­er things.

The update was orig­i­nal­ly planned to release in mid to late Feb­ru­ary, but DICE said on Thurs­day that patch is now tar­get­ed to launch in ear­ly March. The stu­dio did say it will spend this addi­tion­al devel­op­ment time ensur­ing all the game’s updates meet the com­pa­ny’s qual­i­ty stan­dards, while also includ­ing more changes than what was pre­vi­ous­ly announced.

Our next Update after todays Hot­fix will now roll out in ear­ly March. This is a change from our last mes­sag­ing to you all on it’s intend­ed release.

The extra time will help to ensure we improve the qual­i­ty of our Updates, and include addi­tion­al changes.https://t.co/WoeHvOludK

The delay of this patch comes in on the coat­tails of a hot­fix for Bat­tle­field 2042 that launched ear­li­er today. The update addressed sta­bil­i­ty issues that cropped up in the pre­vi­ous 3.2 patch. A down­load is required, but there is no downtime.

It’s been a rough week for Bat­tle­field 2042. DICE delayed Sea­son 1 for the game, say­ing they decid­ed to improve the core game first before adding new con­tent. Addi­tion­al­ly, EA stat­ed that Bat­tle­field 2042 failed to meet the com­pa­ny’s sales expectations.
