Battlefield 2042: Update 3.2, all the details of the January 20 update

After several weeks of silence, in particular because the development teams rested during this holiday period, DICE and EA will once again take care of Battlefield 2042, who really needs it. The number of players has indeed dropped drastically since the title was released in November 2021, largely due to the problems that persist, despite several major updates.

The developers recently returned to social networks on the next updates, which should be linked. Thereby, a first arrives this January 20 from 9 a.m., version 0.3.2. Less important than the one that will follow by the end of January, it still brings its share of fixes, particularly in terms of gameplay and optimizations. You can find the Battlefield 2042 update 3.2 patch notes below.
