Battlefield Hardline is nearing the end of the road on consoles.
It’s been confirmed that the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Battlefield Hardline will be delisted on May 22, meaning players will no longer be able to purchase the game digitally on those platforms after that date. Not long after, the game’s online services on console will also be shut down on June 22.
For a game built heavily around cops-vs-criminals multiplayer chaos, that’s a pretty major change.
Once the servers go offline, online play on PS4 and Xbox One will no longer be available, effectively bringing the console version’s multiplayer component to a close. That said, players who already own the game won’t lose access to it entirely. The single-player campaign will still remain playable for existing owners even after the delisting and server shutdown.
Interestingly, the PC version is being left untouched.

Unlike its console counterparts, Battlefield Hardline on PC will remain available for purchase, and its online services will continue operating as normal. That means the game isn’t disappearing completely it’s just being scaled back in a way that effectively sunsets the console side of its player base while keeping the PC community alive.
That split is unusual, but not entirely surprising. Older multiplayer-focused games often see platform-specific shutdowns once player counts dip low enough, and in Hardline’s case, the console population has likely been dwindling for years.
Released back in 2015, Battlefield Hardline was always something of an oddball entry in the broader Battlefield series. Developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts, it traded military warfare for a more urban, crime-driven setup swapping tanks and jets for heists, tasers, zip lines, and armored trucks. It didn’t land with the same long-term legacy as the mainline Battlefield games, but it carved out a niche all its own.
If you’ve been meaning to revisit Hardline on console or grab it digitally before it disappears you’ve got a limited window left. After May 22, it’ll be gone from storefronts, and after June 22, the sirens stop for good.
