The Road to Battlefield 6 battle pass in Battlefield 2042 is now quicker to grind through if you're willing to spend the money, and fans don't know how to feel about that: "There's the EA I remember!"

EA was quick to capitalize on the success of the Battlefield 6 beta. It added a free battle pass to Battlefield 2042 that allows you to unlock bonuses in the upcoming sequel, and player numbers spiked. "But, Issy, how does a free update make the company any money?" I hear you ask. That's a handsome question, dear reader. Well, if you want to skip the grind and just get the rewards, you can; you just need to pay for it. Unsurprisingly, reactions to this news have been mixed.

In the Road to Battlefield battle pass, you can level up by earning XP while playing matches and completing specific weekly challenges. These give tokens, and every 10 tokens lets you go up a tier. There are 60 tiers in total, so you need to play for a fair while to get all the rewards... unless you pay, that is.
