Battlefield 2042's File Size And Pre-Load Dates Have Leaked

The file size for EA DICE's upcoming Battlefield 2024 has been leaked, and it's smaller than expected. As posted by Twitter account PlayStation Game Size, the PS5 version of Battlefield 2024 will require 42.389 GB in the USA, and a marginally larger 42.717 GB in Europe.

While the leak only covers the PS5 version of the game, it can be assumed that the file size on other platforms won't be dramatically different. The account also notes that the listed file sizes are without a scheduled day one patch, which could push the file size up a bit, but even then the size is quite reasonable for a game on Battlefield 2024's scale.

The leak also included pre-load details for PS5 players, saying that players with the standard version will be able to start pre-loading on November 17 for the November 19 release, while players who have pre-ordered the Gold or Ultimate edition will be able to start pre-loading on November 10 for a November 12 release. While only confirmed for the PS5, these dates will presumably be the same across all platforms.

PlayStation Game Size also added in a reply that players accessing the trial version of Battlefield 2024 on November 12 through Xbox Game Pass or EA Play subscriptions won't be eligible for the November 10 pre-loading
