UPDATE: EA Access subscribers will get early access to Battlefield Hardline, the game, not the beta, as the article originally stated. It has been amended to reflect that.
Subscribers to EA Access will get to enjoy Visceral Games’ upcoming shooter, Battlefield Hardline, early, according to a recent tweet from the studio.
EA Access is a subscription-based program that offers gamers access to EA games at a monthly rate, including demos and early trial periods, and is currently only exclusive to Xbox One. As Battlefield’s Twitter states, subscribers will gain advanced entry to Hardline before its official March 17 launch.
@MaximumXtreme Yes, you will be able to get early access to Battlefield Hardline through EA Access.

The service was similarly offered to the PlayStation 4 audience, but, ultimately, Sony decided that “it does not bring the kind of value PlayStation customers have come to expect”.
Battlefield Hardline’s upcoming multiplayer beta will include up to three modes and three maps for players to test out before the game launches. Keep your sights on MP1st for more updates.
