Our Take
Battlefield V has been an interesting release in the BF series. While it was praised at launch and features the iconic BF action, it quickly fell off the radar and didn’t meet total sales expectations. Regardless, this update looks fantastic. It’s simply a shame it didn’t come sooner as with the wealth of new titles arriving in the next few weeks, we’re unsure if anyone outside of the Battlefield community will be logging in to check it out.
