Battlefield Hardline Will Leave PS4 and Xbox One Stores on May 22
Original: Battlefield Hardline Ending Support For PS4 and Xbox One Soon View original →
Battlefield Hardline is moving toward the end of its console lifecycle on PS4 and Xbox One. Insider Gaming reports that the Battlefield communications team posted an update on March 23, 2026 saying the game will no longer be supported on those two last-generation platforms.
The timetable is explicit. Beginning Friday, May 22, 2026, Battlefield Hardline will be removed from digital storefronts on PS4 and Xbox One, which means new purchases on those consoles will stop. One month later, on Monday, June 22, 2026, online services for those console versions are scheduled to end.
What changes and what does not
- PS4 and Xbox One digital sales end on May 22, 2026.
- PS4 and Xbox One online services end on June 22, 2026.
- The PC version remains available for purchase.
- PC online services remain active.
The staggered timeline matters. Players who already own the last-gen console versions still have a short runway before the online shutdown, while anyone who wants a version that will continue functioning online will need to look to PC. For a multiplayer shooter, the June 22 service cutoff is the real end date, because it removes the network layer the game depends on.
Battlefield Hardline launched in March 2015, so this sunset arrives after more than a decade on the market. That is not unusual for an older online shooter, but it still stands out as a preservation milestone. Once delisted, the original console storefront path closes, and when services end, the official multiplayer experience on those platforms closes with it.
The bigger industry signal is how publishers continue to rationalize legacy online games while focusing resources on newer hardware and fresher live-service priorities. For players, though, the practical takeaway is simple: Friday, May 22, 2026 is the delisting date, and Monday, June 22, 2026 is the online shutdown date. Any discussion of the game's future should keep those two milestones separate, because they do not happen at the same time.
