Battlefield V Won’t Have a Premium Pass or Expansion Packs
It appears that the publisher is becoming a fan of the latter strategy. During today’s Battlefield V live stream, the developers at DICE revealed that the latest game in the series will do away with the strategy that worked in previous entries. That means users will not need to pay for a Premium Pass. Everything will be included with the game, being added through a live service that will launch alongside it.
This includes the first expansion, Fall of Europe, which will launch sometime in November. DICE didn’t detail what this will include just yet, but it sounds like it could expand upon the main story while, at the same time, offering some new multiplayer goods.
And the Live service will make sure that all players are on the same field, so that everyone can access the content at the same time. This was a struggle with previous Battlefield games since those that didn’t purchase a Premium Pass for something like Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 1 couldn’t join their friends on other maps unless it was offered as a freebie or giveaway.
This move is going to mean great news for Battlefield fans, as they pretty much only have to pay once to get the full World War II experience that the game is set to present. It’s unknown if we will see cosmetic microtransactions in the game or something along those lines. But it is nice to see that we’re going to get a lot of bang for the buck, as we have previously with Titanfall 2 and Battlefront II.
And you won’t have to wait long to try the game out, as EA is preparing a pre-order beta that will likely launch on Xbox One first before the game rolls out in October.
Battlefield V releases on October 19 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Silky Great to hear but I also hope these microtransactions that they;ll most likely have are cosmetic only.
They've learned their lesson with pay to win. I expect 99% of games to have cosmetic microtransactions only.

Premium pass gone to keep players on same page, good. What will they fill the cash void with? Probably fortnites strat, a "battlefield pass" for cosmetics for vehicles, dog tags and so on. Wouldn't be mad if they did, but a business doesn't remove a revenue stream and replace it with nothing

The trailer didn't really get me hyped like the BF1 trailer did, but there is some changes this being one of them that will be great for the game. I can't wait to give the beta a go when it comes out.

There are character customisation options and gun camos/face camos so you know they'll make money somehow....

Could I read this correctly? EA is actually not going to have people pay for DLC?
Will there be some kind of Loot Boxes or Microtransactions???? They'll be cutting a huge chunk of their money by doing this, but they'll get a lot of happier feed back and probably more game sales in itself..
