Developer Visceral Games announced the news earlier today, letting Xbox One users know that they can now digitally pre-order and pre-load the studio’s cops and criminals shooter, Battlefield Hardline, to prepare for its March 17 launch.
Of course, if you happen to own EA Access, you’ll get in on the action five days earlier on March 12 with 10 hours of game time, access to Hardline’s multiplayer, and a portion of its single player campaign.
Pre-loading will allow users to play Hardline on the morning of launch at 12:01 AM EST, which sounds like a 9:01PM PST launch the day prior for those on the West Coast.
You’ll now find both editions of the game on the Xbox One store, a 45.33 GB download:
- Battlefield Hardline Deluxe Edition – $69.99
- Battlefield Hardline Standard Edition – $59.99
For your information, here’s what’s included in each bundle:
