Battlefield Hardline Console Multiplayer Services Ending June 2023

Electronic Arts and the Battlefield team have announced the end of online support for Battlefield Hardline on consoles. The cops-and-robbers spin-off, originally released in 2015, will officially lose online services for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June. The shutdown will proceed as follows: on May 22, the base game and all associated DLC will be removed from the PlayStation and Xbox digital stores, making them unavailable for digital purchase. Then, on June 22, the servers for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be shut down, ending all multiplayer functionality on those platforms. However, Electronic Arts has confirmed that players who already own the game on consoles will still be able to access the single-player campaign after June 22. This change will not affect PC gamers. The server shutdown applies only to consoles, so the PC version of Battlefield Hardline will continue to operate normally, with both digital sales and multiplayer remaining available.
