As a player who owns Battlefield 1 Premium Pass you will be able to bring your friends in Battlefield 1 along to play on the new maps!
 
When creating a party in Battlefield 1 you may notice something new: if someone owns a Battlefield 1 Premium Pass the party will become "Premium Enabled". This will allow anyone in that party to play on all maps, regardless if they own the content or not. The access is available as long as the party is "Premium Enabled". 
 
While all players will be able to play on maps accessible through Battlefield 1 Premium Pass through Premium Friends, some experiences are exclusive to Battlefield 1 Premium Pass owners.
  • In a “Premium Enabled” party, only owners of a Battlefield 1 Premium Pass or the specific expansion pack will earn XP from the maps exclusive to that expansion. We will save the XP for everyone else and grant them retroactively if they decide to get the Battlefield 1 Premium Pass for themselves.
  • Only owners of a Battlefield 1 Premium Pass or the specific expansion pack will be able to spawn in with weapons and vehicles unique for the expansion.
  • Only owners of a Battlefield 1 Premium Pass or the specific expansion pack will track progress towards the unique medals and codexes for the expansion.
You are all invited to try this new way of playing with friends and enjoy Battlefield 1 content. We will activate the test run of Premium Friends during the upcoming Battlefest, which starts on March 30.

    Well ,that's interesting MSim. Might be why there was an additional UI for BF1 yesterday, when I signed in. That must mean that Premium is already installed in everyone's BF1 install, and just requires an unlock. Trying to help sell Premium are they?

    Give people a taste of the new maps, within 48hrs they will probably buy it so they can earn XP and use special vehicle/guns on the map.

    interesting idea to get people hooked into it , rather than those 'free' weekend deals.....
     
    But if they wanted to build a community - I think all maps should be free so all players can play in them , only new weapons/ gear or the such ,etc..etc..etc  should be paid for in Premium Pass

    We know EA doesn't care about that.  Titanfall 2 didn't do it out of choice, they did it to try and help the poor sales.
