You’ll get an EA App CD Key for Battlefield 2042 that needs to be activated on the EA Client. Log in and activate the key there, making it ready for download. You can do that by clicking on “Redeem Product Code” and enter the code there, and the game will be added to your games list. If you don’t have the EA Client yet, you can download it here.
A Battlefield 2042 key for the EA-Client does not expire and after activation Battlefield 2042 can be downloaded and played forever.
I really like Battlefield 2042! Especially the portal mode with the custom game builder. Brings so much joy.
