Battlefield 4 features 64-player multiplayer on Xbox One and PS4

DICE unveils first look at multiplayer map Siege of Shanghai.

89 Comments

DICE has confirmed that the Xbox 720, PC, and PlayStation 4 versions of Battlefield 4 will feature support for 64-player multiplayer matches.

No Caption Provided

At EA's E3 2013 press conference, DICE unveiled the first look at the multiplayer level Siege of Shanghai. The level featured helicopters, attack boats, and Jetskis, and culminated in a group of attackers working their way to the top of a massive skyscraper that was then reduced to rubble.

The returning Commander mode was shown running on a tablet, with the Commander player calling down an artillery strike. Alongside the Commander class, five-person squads were also shown. The Commander mode was shown running from a top-down viewpoint, and DICE added that it could also be played from the console.

The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Battlefield 3 were restricted to 32 players, though the PC version allowed for 64.

Earlier today, Microsoft confirmed that the Xbox One version of Battlefield 4 would run at 60fps and that DLC for the game would be released first on Microsoft's next-generation console.

@mvickers89 Ya, this article was written June 10, 2013. MS already came out with the Xbox One name. WTF are they calling it 720 for?

the game is great.... I just don't support all the milking with the Frostbite 1, 2, 3 argument..... There's no much difference between them... at least in terms of destruction... it's all pre-programed, it's not like in Red Faction Guerrilla that you could destroy full buildings online 6 vs 6 players, and the physics were realistic because the destruction was always different depending on the point of force that was being applied...

Really doesn't look much different to BF3, but the expanded multiplayer looks immense. Hoping the extra power will at least go into making sure it runs more smoothly than the last game.

@WantYouBad PS3 has 512mb of RAM and did... 128 players?

Different game and different engine i know. But 84 players aint going to be much in this console generation.

Question! How is this info confirmed when dice or ea did not announce it at the conference? they only said for PC! and the guy whos writing this info on this article is getting many errors on the page such as saying xbox 720 instead of Xbox one, and saying 32 players was on ps3 and 360 for bf3 when it really was 24

being a bf player since bf1942 and after the fail that was bf3, i am impressed with bf4. dice don´t ruin everything, make the rest of bf4 maps all big. one of the things i hate the most on bf3 was the art direction, and is still in bf4. i hope dice makes the graphics more clear and natural. they still have the time. make it happen dice.

It's what is needed. Battlefield3 just doesn't know what it's catering for. Some maps are far too big for 12 vs 12 and some are made for just that. Now everything can be focused on 64 players so each map can be catered for that number. Can't wait.

Remember how they showed us Caspian Border Radio Tower collapsing way back before BF3 came out? And when we got our hands on the game we realized we actually couldnt intentionally destroy it...Im hoping the same doesnt happen for these skyscrapers. Would be rather dissapointing if it was a scripted event for winning the match or something.

BF4 and Killzone Shadow Fall are the only worthwhile FPS to get this gen. I will probably get Killzone Shadow Fall first because we all know how ea loves to F*CK you over with dlc prices and getting premium. I was actually stupid enough to spend an extra 49.99 on premium for BF3. NEVER AGAIN!
