In a post on the EA website, the team said:
“Update #3.1 is our last game update before the start of the holidays. That means our teams will take a break towards the end of this month and return in the new year with fresh eyes ready to go on the road to Season One. We’ll see you again in the new year where we’ll talk more on further changes and improvements you can expect for Battlefield 2042.”
While not quite the comically large update which saw over 300 issues address only a week ago, this update does address some key issues, such as the ability to enable/disable crossplay on Xbox platforms and an issue that made loadouts disappear.
