Battlefield 2042 Update 4.0 finally delivers party and squad voice chat Five months to the day since launch News by CJ Wheeler News Reporter Published on April 19, 2022 11 comments The latest update to Battlefield 2042 is out today and it's a big one.

Battlefield 2042 Update 4.0 is implementing party and squad VoIP along with a bunch of balance adjustments to specialists and vehicles, plus plenty of fixes. Ribbons and XP events have been made easier to unlock, and there's the addition of a scoreboard at the end of rounds that was promised with update 3.3 last month.

In Ed's Battlefield 2042 review, he felt that the game needed more time in the oven, as did the many other hundreds of negative Steam reviews.

Battlefield 2042's first season of post-launch content was delayed in February so EA DICE could continue to work on building out the game's features with "extensive fixes". Season one is now set to launch sometime in the summer.
