Itās the standard PC edition playable on Origin
Straight to the point: Battlefield 1 is free-to-claim on PC until August 4 via Prime Gaming, and then Battlefield V will be grabbable from August 2 through October 1. (Yes, weāll post a reminder next month.) Youāll get a standard-edition code thatās redeemable on Origin.
Thereās a lot of fluff on the Prime Gaming page, so if you want to make a beeline for Battlefield 1 (or any of the other free games), jump straight to the bottom.
Even if itās not my favorite Battlefield, I dug the frantic and paranoid feeling youād get when charging into battle, and I mostly have fond memories of Battlefield 1 in general. What an intense game. As for the most recent entry, I liked Battlefield V well enough at launch, but it never came together the way it shouldāve in the years that followed, and I donāt expect to ever play it again, especially not with Battlefield 2042 looking the way it does.
I canāt speak to Battlefield 1ās current player population, but itās worthy of a nod, for sure.
As someone with an Amazon Prime membership and, as a result, access to free games and digital trinkets given out with Prime Gaming, I tend to gloss over these deals more often than not. I havenāt formed a habit of checking in and claiming stuff Iām never going to touch like I have on other platforms, you know? Itās just not in my routine.
But thatās a moot point ā I already own both of these. Iāve had my fun.
As for whatās next, weāll see more of Battlefield 2042 on July 22 at EA Play Live. Theyāre showing the second of the gameās three major āmultiplayer experiences.ā
