In an interview with Official Xbox Magazine, DICE General Manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson revealed that the Battlefield Hardline beta will be coming to Xbox One as well as PS3 and Xbox 360. "We will have a beta on on all platforms before release," Troedsson confirmed.

Last week during its E3 press conference, Electronic Arts announced that it was launching a closed beta for Hardline on PC and PlayStation 4. The length of the beta is unknown.

Previously, no word had been given that the beta would launch on the Xbox One. Troedsson assuaged Xbox users but clarified that the Xbox beta would be different than the one currently running. "It won't be this beta on Xbox," he said. "It's not going to be the same version, just to be clear." There will be different content playable for Xbox users, although the nature of this new content has not been announced.

You can watch Hardline's E3 trailer here. It is being developed by Visceral Games and will be released on October 21 on PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Having played the Beta on PS4 I think that while Hardline is fun and fast paced the small maps and kinda terribly unbalanced Heist mode (Blood Money is a lot more fun) definitely doesn't make me want to shell out $60 for it...I will say the gunplay and vehicle physics are what you would expect from a BF game.

Already played the beta, it was good. But basically the same game just with a cops and robbers theme. Better than another battlefield 5 type game...honestly I just wish they and others stopped releasing every year.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I liked it not sure the single player will be good but blood money was great and heist was good. I have the laser sights on my machine gun now that is awesome when you get it. The only thing that bothered me was the need for two players in an armored vehicle. Too many people just sit there and never do anything to help you. I tend to use regular vehicles instead.

Little known fact: The piles of money that you fight over is the cash they have made off of all the DLC's BF4 is saturated with.

This game flat out sucks, and this is coming from a huge BF fan of going on ten years now. There's just no other way to put it, it's completely garbage.

I was looking forward to this game... and then I played the Beta. Granted it is the Beta so there may be a large difference to the final product. Small map, small teams, poor vehicle choices. As well, I do not enjoy either of the two game types that are provided. I realized while I was playing it that there probably won't be tanks or LAV's or most of the other more enjoyable vehicles of Battlefield, and that is disappointing.

<< LINK REMOVED >> they have tanks in armored vehicles granted they require two people to work but they have them. I hated bf4 but really enjoyed this aspect the laser sights are amazing once you get them. The melee is nice too love having more than the standard knife. The helicopters are a nice touch as well unless they are gunning you down of course. Balance is the only issue I see right now too many people join and never leave the spawn point creating uneven teams.

Massive BF3 and BF4 fan but this one looks like just a crap DLC package stretched to cover the "Every Year Release" schedule.

<< LINK REMOVED >> it's actually fairly bug free but of course it was just 2 modes and no campaign. I usually see a few glitches at start or trespassing but other than that it plays good. I am buying this based on what I played for the beta of course the campaign will probably suck but the multiplayer feels better to me.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I haven't had any of those but did get stuck for a few seconds after respawning. The mystery death on rooftops could be from grenades, I saw a player kill me that way but it showed his/her user name so maybe I have just been lucky so far. I have only played around 6 hours so far due to work so maybe it is my limited time with it instead of luck.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I have not gone to top of sky scraper yet so that explains why I haven't seen it. Yeah grenade can still get you but you would have seen the kill announcement. I was killed by a grenade one floor below me once so it can happen. What team was you on maybe it's a team restriction kill only other thing I can think of besides a holy hand grenade!

this game felt a lot more like dlc, not really enough here to justify a full $60 especially with so many games coming out this fall

I played this one PC with everything cranked up and all the bells and whistles and deleted it about an hour later. If there are things about BF3 and BF4 that bugged you, then I highly suggest avoiding this one because it seems like they haven't fixed a damn thing.

Sad they keep supporting last gen. So much potential is wasted having to wait for a Battlefield branded game that takes advantage of new bells and whistles.


BTW, the beta sucks. It feels old, is not exciting or even interesting. Maybe because I tried it the same day I got my Destiny alpha and that was great.

Yea, the nerve of them supporting a user base of over 150 million users compared to a user base under 15 million.

@Sevenizz Who cares how many people own them? It's been out for 8 YEARS. Are you kidding? If you don't think the last generation of consoles is holding back gaming, then you are lying to yourself.

Battlefield does not work on last it hasn't sense BFBC2.

BF3 & 4 were crippled messes on last gen.

And the 150 mil user base is ridiculously blown out of proportion. At best it's 30-50 million. And the chances of them buying new games is low.

After all I have had 5 xbox 360s because they kept breaking and many people owned both systems.
