Battlefield Hardline's Beta Locks Up Six Million Players

Battlefield Hardline may feel like its operating under the radar a little bit, but the release's recent beta has been an enormous success. Visceral Games' vice president and general manager Steve Papoutsis took to the EA Blog overnight – yes, that's a real thing – to reveal that the first-person shooter's recent server stress test has been sampled by six million people to date.

He also said that, despite the game launching imminently, there's still time for the studio to make tweaks based upon player feedback. "We've already been prioritising changes for things that fans are talking about," he beamed. "So, you've still got a chance to be heard." The taster will be put away until 17th March later today, so be sure to give it a spin while you've still got the chance.
