‘Battlefield V’ pushed back to November, but you can play the beta next week
Electronic Arts and Dice have decided to delay Battlefield V by more than a month. The game was previously scheduled to arrive in October on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The beta still kicks off in September, and pre-loading for the beta begins on September 3. Those who pre-ordered the game can play the beta early.
‘Battlefield V’ goes all-in on multiplayer customization, team-focused play

‘Battlefield V’ has no expansion packs, and won’t be pay-to-win
Paid expansion packs and the "premium pass" have been staples of the Battlefield series for years, but Electronic Arts and Dice are doing away with them in the upcoming shooter Battlefield V.
