Gameplay īattlefield V is focused extensively on party-based features and mechanics, scarcity of resources, and removing 'abstractions' from game mechanics to increase realism. In April 2020, it was announced that support for the game would continue until the summer of 2020, when it would receive its last major update. It sold 7.3 million units by the end of 2018, but was a commercial disappointment for Electronic Arts. Upon release, the game received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay and new multiplayer modes but criticized for its shortage of content at launch and lack of innovation.

Pre-release reception of Battlefield V was mixed, with the announcement trailer causing significant backlash from some fans of the series. It was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in November 2018. It is based on World War II and is a thematic continuation of its World War I-based precursor Battlefield 1.

The game is the successor to 2016's Battlefield 1 and the eleventh main installment in the Battlefield series. Battlefield V (otherwise known as Battlefield 5) is a 2018 first-person shooter game developed by DICE and published by Electronic Arts.
