EA Details The Contents Of Battlefield: Hardline’s Premium Subscription

As Internet sleuths so rightly discovered a few weeks ago, EA and Visceral Games are preparing to roll out a Premium subscription service in tandem with the imminent launch of Battlefield: Hardline.

In keeping with previous installments in the franchise, the membership scheme will give users instant access to four post-launch expansions and an array of in-game extras, including members-only tournaments.

Due to arrive for consoles on PC on March 17, Visceral’s maiden entry into the blockbuster series will swap out the military milieu in favor of a cops-versus-robbers dynamic, with the studio taking inspiration from cinematic thrillers such as Michael Mann’s Heat. In order to gain a gist of what Battlefield: Hardline‘s Premium service has to offer, you can consult the comprehensive list below.
