Battlefield 5's grand operations mode will arrive after launch

Battlefield 5's Grand Operations won't be available right as the game launches.

One of the most anticipated features of Battlefield 5 is Grand Operations, the revised version of Battlefield 1's Operations mode. Rounds take place over the course of an in-game “day”, slowly adopting different gameplay features that build to a climatic finale.

Sounds great, doesn't it? One problem – it won't launch with the game itself.

The folks at IGN noticed that the official Battlefield 5 Grand Operations description says the mode is available “shortly” after launch. There are no specifics for how long that period will be – it could be a few days, or perhaps a week.

That said, it's not unusual for studios to stagger game features. Destiny 2 has a similar practice for each of its raids.

Battlefield 5 launches for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 19, 2018.
