It has been a turbulent release for Battlefield: Hardline, a spin-off game from Battlefield series developed by Visceral Games, that is currently available in the North America (in Europe, it will be available from tomorrow). According to Battlefield's official Twitter account, Hardline has been targeted by a DDoS attack, that it has made the online service on Xbox One problematic. Here's what the devs have reported on the social network:

"We've identified the connectivity issues on Xbox One are due to DDoS attack and working to resolve. Apologies for the inconvenience."

At the moment, it seems that the problem hasn't resolved yet. We hope issues will be fixed before Battlefield: Hardline's release here in Europe tomorrow.
