The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

Playing Battlefield 2042 feels like being dropped into chaotic, large-scale modern combat where teamwork and destruction drive the experience.

What players say

Players warn that the game has no campaign and is essentially dead, with matches often filled by AI bots and long queues for real players. Some still enjoy the bot mode and find the game fun on deep sale, but many call it the weakest entry in the franchise and criticize the requirement to enable secure boot.
