Battlefield Hardline Beta Surpasses 5 Million Players Across All Platforms

Now this is a little surprising. The buzz around Battlefield Hardline has felt much cooler than you'd expect from a game in the franchise. Maybe it was the somewhat disastrous launch of Battlefield 4 or the fact that Hardline is a new spin off for the series. From my temperature checks previously though, the game just hasn't felt like it has had a huge buzz around it.

Turns out I was wrong.  Executive Producer of Battlefield Hardline Steve Papoutsis took to Twitter to share that the beta, which started on February 3rd, has surpassed 5 million users. He said:

Wow, we've passed 5 MILLION players in the #BFHardline beta! So proud of our team. Glad you're having fun and keep that feedback coming.

Those are huge numbers. I'd be interested to see the retention on that number and see the average number of games played by each player. I had a few rounds myself, but I can't say anything was really demanding I stick with it. I'm hoping to see more from the game in the future.
