The Battlefield series has fallen far from grace over the years, with the direct Call of Duty competitor struggling to maintain relevance in a post live-service world. Despite the series’ heyday being during the PS3 and Xbox 360 era, EA have now announced that a number of its most popular PS360 Battlefield games are set to be delisted.
Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Battlefield Comms page shared the following:
“Hello there, On Wednesday, July 31st the following #Battlefield titles will be removed from digital storefronts and you will no longer be able to purchase them and all extra related content such as DLC.”
The games in question are the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Battlefield 3, Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline, with EA adding that “online services for these titles on these platforms will end on November 7th, 2024” – though the games’ respective single-player components will of course still be accessible.
Fortunately, this sunsetting only applies to the 7th-gen console versions of these games, so those who own the PC or PS4/Xbox One versions of these games can rest easy…for now.
