#### **Persistent Server functionality is coming to Battlefield™ Portal**

Hi all,

A much requested Community feature within Battlefield™ 2042 is the option to host Persistent Servers to help you grow and play with your own Communities. We are excited to share that we’ll introduce this feature as a new option for hosting Servers within Battlefield™ Portal as part of the upcoming #2.2 Game Update.

We have designed Persistent Servers for Creators and Community Leaders to nurture their own Communities within Battlefield™ Portal. This is your own dedicated space where you can meet. You set the rules.

Today, we’ll provide an overview about the functionality of Persistent Servers to help you understand how this works when it becomes available in-game.

**What is a Persistent Server?**

Presently, if you host a server within Battlefield™ Portal, it only remains visible within the Server Browser for as long as players are active within it. Once the Server is empty, it shuts down and will no longer be visible within the Server Browser.

A Persistent Server means your Server remains visible within the Server Browser even without active players. This will enable communities to stay together across their favorite servers, without needing to wait for the Server Owner to come online and activate the Server.

**Who can create Persistent Servers?**

Starting with Update 2.2, owners of the Premium Battle Pass can select a Persistent Server option when Hosting a Server.

**How many Servers can you Host?**

Premium Battle Pass owners can host 1 Persistent Server per account. Individuals that do not own the Premium Battle Pass can host 1 Server per account. At any point in time, the maximum amount of Servers you can host is set to 1.

**For how long will Persistent Servers remain visible?**

Our intent for Persistent Servers is to help nurture active Communities while also making it easy to find active Servers to play on. This means that a Persistent Server will remain visible in the Server Browser for up to 7 days from any last player activity on the Server. We’re able to adjust this value if we see room to improve that experience.

**What functionality comes with Persistent Servers?**

Existing functionality for hosting a server within Battlefield™ Portal remains unchanged. That means when you host a Server you’ll still have access to:

- Enabling Cross-Play
- Allowing players to follow a Server
- Setting a welcome and match message
- Password protecting a Server
- Admin features for the Host


We’re eager to hear your thoughts and feedback as we introduce this feature, and we’re looking forward to seeing you create and find new homes for your Community within Battlefield™ Portal.

See you on the Battlefield,

*//The Battlefield Team*

*This announcement may change as we listen to community feedback and continue developing and evolving our Live Service &amp; Content. We will always strive to keep our community as informed as possible.*
