Battlefield Hardline Beta Confirmed for Xbox One and Last-Gen

In an interview with Official Xbox Magazine, DICE General Manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson revealed that the Battlefield Hardline beta will be coming to Xbox One as well as PS3 and Xbox 360. "We will have a beta on on all platforms before release," Troedsson confirmed.

Last week during its E3 press conference, Electronic Arts announced that it was launching a closed beta for Hardline on PC and PlayStation 4. The length of the beta is unknown.

Previously, no word had been given that the beta would launch on the Xbox One. Troedsson assuaged Xbox users but clarified that the Xbox beta would be different than the one currently running. "It won't be this beta on Xbox," he said. "It's not going to be the same version, just to be clear." There will be different content playable for Xbox users, although the nature of this new content has not been announced.
