Battlefield 3, 4, And Hardline Are Being Delisted From PlayStation 3 And Xbox 360 Storefronts This Month

Owners of these games will still be able to play their single-player content, but online support for these titles will end on November 7. The embedded announcement post on X also includes a link to an FAQ to answer additional questions about the sunsetting process.&nbsp;</p> <blockquote class="tw-align-center twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="zxx"><a href="https://t.co/2W8dLlGjBM">https://t.co/2W8dLlGjBM</a></p> — Battlefield Comms (@BattlefieldComm) <a href="https://twitter.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1806689437352341764?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2024</a></blockquote> <p>While the digital PS3/Xbox 360 versions of these games are going away, Battlefield 3 will still be available to purchase on PC. The same is true for Battlefield 4 and Hardline, and these two titles will also remain on sale for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The PC/PS4/Xbox One versions will remain unaffected by today’s updates.</p> <p>It never feels good to see games get removed from sale like this. The reason likely has to do with EA sunsetting online support; it wouldn't be right to continue selling games with popular online modes if that component doesn't work anymore. For those still logging into Battlefield matches on PS3 and 360, you've got a few more months to enjoy the ride.</p> <p>For more on Battlefield, you can learn about how the next entry is shaping up (which is being made with help by Dead Space remake developer Motive Studios) <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/news/2024/04/09/motive-studio-to-work-on-battlefield-as-iron-man-game-hits-major-internal-milestone">here.</a>&nbsp;</p>
