Battlefield 5 also won’t have loot boxes
One of the more interesting announcements at last night’s Battlefield 5 reveal was confirmation that EA and DICE are dropping the Premium pass this time around.
Not having a season pass usually means the game will be full of microtransactions, which typically only let you buy randomised loot boxes. At least in the case of Battlefield 5, however, this won’t be happening.
DICE confirmed to Polygon that the game won’t include any loot boxes. Sometime after releasing that statement, EA chimed in again to say that cosmetic items won’t be available for purchase directly with real money either.
Which is a bit bizarre, but EA nonetheless said it’ll talk later about the game’s monetisation post-launch. It’s possible players will be able to buy denominations of an in-game currency using real money, as well as earn it through play.
This is how Star Wars: Battlefront 2 currently does it, which is arguably the best version of these systems. It’s also possible the specifics simply haven’t been finalised yet.
We’ll have to wait and see.
Battlefield 5 is out October 19 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

I wonder if EA are using this as a marketing ploy, "We are removing all P2W and cosmetics and Premium passes, come buy our game"
A lot of people would like to see microtransactions gone and if a big title like this, especially an EA game will surely lure more people back
