Battlefield Hardline is a 2015 first-person shooter game developed by Visceral Games and published by Electronic Arts. It was released in March 2015 for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It is the fourteenth installment in the Battlefield series. Hardline focuses on crime, heist and policing elements instead of warfare. Upon release, the game received a mixed critical reception, with critics praising the game's multiplayer mode, accessibility and voice acting, while criticizing the narrative and stealth gameplay. It was the final Battlefield game to be released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms and also the last game to be developed by Visceral Games before the company shut down in 2017.
