US EditionEA Is Nuking Battlefield Hardline on Consoles
EA will remove Battlefield Hardline from PS4 and Xbox One digital stores on May 22 and end online services June 22 due to declining player numbers, while PC support continues.
- On March 23, 2026, EA announced that Battlefield Hardline support on PS4 and Xbox One will end, with storefront removal on May 22 and online shutdown on June 22.
- The game, first released in 2015, departed from large-scale military battles to focus on a cops-versus-robbers theme and drew mixed reactions at launch.
- PC users should note that online services remain on Steam and EA's PC app, with the Steam peak concurrent players at 41 this year and details on three webpages in EA website FAQ.
- The decision aligns with a pattern in which EA did not give a detailed explanation in its announcement on X but directed readers to a FAQ citing declining player bases and EA's history of sunsetting games.
- Players who already purchased Hardline can still access the single-player campaign, although online multiplayer on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will end.
