Battlefield 1 Winter Update Releases Next Week

The official Twitter account of Battlefield has confirmed that the Battlefield 1 Winter Update will arrive next week, which will bring new bug fixes, balances, and improvements to the game.

To continue the success of Battlefield 1, Electronic Arts and DICE have been constantly tweaking the game, fixing bugs, and releasing new content. As stated by the official Battlefield Twitter account, Battlefield 1 players can expect another batch of changes and fixes next week when the Winter Update drops on all platforms.

Although the tweet doesn't say much about what the Winter Update will bring, it's expected that the changes and fixes will contain what's available now in the Battlefield 1 Community Test Environment, or CTE. DICE confirmed in January that a large update would be coming in February, but that it wouldn't include new content. Couple of gamers got the chance to start testing the upcoming changes at the end of January when DICE sent out CTE invites. Up to this point, it sounds like those changes have already been accepted by players and should help bring additional balance to the game.

The next batch of new content will arrive when DICE releases Battlefield 1's first set of paid DLC, known as They Shall Not Pass. The expansion is coming next month and brings with it the new Frontlines game mode, a new Elite Class, a new tank and stationary weapon, and a lot more for players to enjoy. CTE players have not yet tried They Shall Not Pass, but it's expected that Season Pass CTE members will be able to play the upcoming expansion before it launches in March.

This follows from additional content that has made its way earlier into the game. In December, DICE launched Giant's Shadow, a free Battlefield 1 DLC that included a map and grenade crossbow weapon. At the time, gamers appreciated DICE's release of free content and many showed their support by purchasing the Season Pass, which gives access to upcoming paid DLCs.

Battlefield 1 is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
