EA has announced that the 128 Breakthrough multiplayer option in Battlefield 2042 would be removed from PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC and that the 64-player count version will be retained. Update 4.1 will incorporate the update.
“When reviewing the available experiences in All-Out Warfare, we felt that the 128 player modes are better suited for Conquest where gameplay spaces are larger, and where you have a more natural fit for sandbox gameplay,” said EA on its website.
Due to the extreme intensity and mayhem that comes with having 128 players on one map, EA lowered the player count because it seemed like each player’s contributions were lessened.

“As a result, squads in Breakthrough 64 have a better opportunity to work together, to flank the enemy, place a spawn beacon, use their plus menu to attach suppressors, then clear, and hold a point – one squad helping turn the tide as an example,” EA continued. “We believe that the move to 64 players will bring back the pacing that helps celebrate these moments of teamwork and PTFOing, and will be keeping a close eye on how our changes help to improve the experience ahead of the start of Season 1.”

“For a game claiming to be the future of Battlefield, 2042’s impressive Portal options make it clear that it doesn’t stack up to the past. Instead, it’s those same customization tools that could come to define it in time.”
