Battlefield Hardline Beta Now Open To All PC Players
Visceral Games has opened up its Battlefield Hardline beta to all interested PC players. If you haven’t yet had a chance to play and have been waiting to get in, now’s your chance.
In order to get access, head over to the official site to register. You’ll be able to start playing right away and get some beta perks, including a weapon skin, a weapon sight, “additional content,” and a dog tag for Battlefield 4. The dog tag will be available in July, and the rest of the items will be delivered alongside Battlefield Hardline on October 21.
There are also beta challenges in place that will earn you more items for completion. If you reach rank 10 on PC or PS4 during the beta, you’ll get a battlepack for Battlefield Hardline at launch. If you enable Facebook sharing, you’ll also get $1,000 in-game cash.

Our Take
It's heartening that Battlefield Hardline is getting put through its paces early enough that substantial improvements can be made based on feedback. Frostbite 3 has a lot of potential, and perhaps Battlefield Hardline will be the showcase for it that Battlefield 4 never was.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
