Battlefield Hardline is now available to pre-load on Xbox One, Microsoft has announced.

No Caption Provided

The full game doesn't unlock until 12:01 AM on March 17, of course, but pre-loading ensures you'll be able to play the second it becomes available on that date.

Alternatively, EA Access members on Xbox One can start playing Hardline on March 12, though this pre-release play period is limited to ten total game hours.

Pre-loading support came to Xbox One in August 2014. It's also supported on PlayStation consoles. Pre-loading is nothing new, however, for PC, where it's been available for years now.

Hardline launches March 17 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. Earlier this week, developer Visceral Games spoke at length about the title's single-player mode.
