Battlefield 2042 Gets Updated Scoreboard in February

DICE has shared details about upcoming updates for Battlefield 2042. This week, the studio is releasing an update with bug fixes and XP changes for Portal mode. A larger update will follow in February, in which the scoreboard will be renewed, among other things.

DICE reports in a thread on Twitter that it will come with Update 3.2 for Battlefield 2042 on Thursday, February 20. It contains ‘minor bug fixes and improvements’, which are aimed at the stability of the game. That same update will make changes to the experience point collection in Portal mode. For example, the XP limit will be increased to 300 per minute under all Portal game modes.

Update 3.3 will follow in the second half of February. In it, a new leaderboard is added to the game, which shows more information than the current variant. The new leaderboard shows a list of the top scoring players of a round, participants who score close to the player himself and squad members. The updated leaderboard also shows details about the round, earned ribbons and other statistics. Update 3.3 should also make ‘other changes’, but no details are known about that yet.

In the longer term, DICE is working on optimizations to improve performance. Matchmaking preferences and voice chat are both “still on DICE’s radar”, but more details are not yet shared. “No updates on these two today, but we want to reassure everyone that we still have these in mind. We’ll show and share more on these topics at a later date,” the studio said.

Battlefield 2042 was released on November 19 for consoles and PCs. The shooter was received negatively by gamers upon release, among other things because of bugs, the class system, gunplay and other aspects of gameplay. Developer DICE has indicated that it wants to address various aspects of the game in response to the criticism, also indicating that it is considering a new scoreboard. The company has now also made various adjustments, which, among other things, improved hit registration.
