At the moment, there’s no concrete release date for the Battlefield 2042 December patch.

The first major update only landed in late November, and there’s still another to come before update 3 lands. That said, DICE has confirmed that it’ll release in early December, though no date is official yet. However, these updates appear to be worth the wait, as they’re adding valuable fixes to Battlefield 2042 to bring it back to the high quality the series is renowned for.

The good news is that DICE has already outlined what the Battlefield 2042 December patch will bring. Here are just a few of the coming changes, as per their official website:
