Battlefield Hardline Now Free on Xbox One With EA Access

Battlefield Hardline, the latest entry in the longrunning shooter series with a new cops-and-robbers theme, is now available for free on Xbox One through EA Access. The game launched in March 2015, making it the most recently released of the 14 free EA Access games.

Before Hardline, the most recent addition to the EA Access game "Vault" was Dragon Age: Inquisition, which arrived in August.

EA Access is currently available only on Xbox One. You can sign up for $5/month or $30/year. Other subscription benefits include a 10-percent discount on all EA digital content and access to upcoming EA titles five days before they are released publicly.

Games featured in the Vault will never be removed, EA has promised.

Originally scheduled to launch at the end of 2014, Hardline--developed by Dead Space studio Visceral Games--was eventually released in March 2015 for consoles and PC. GameSpot's review scored it a 7/10.

In addition to ongoing support for Hardline, Visceral is working on a new Star Wars game, development of which is being led by former Uncharted director Amy Hennig.
