The “Heists” mode will be unlocked in Battlefield: Hardline‘s upcoming beta test if the community collectively scores at least 2 billion points in Battlefield 4‘s Rush mode this coming weekend. This special Community Mission is live right now and runs until midnight on Saturday, January 24.

Heist is one of the new gameplay modes described when Hardline was first revealed. The criminal team races to get into a vault or armored vehicle and then escapes to an extraction point with their loot while the police try to stop them.

You can see a Heist match in action below. Visceral has not yet provided a date for the open beta, which will be available on PlayStation, Windows, and Xbox platforms.

The challenge kicks off two months of “weekly treats with a Hardline flair” from developer Visceral Games in the lead-up to Battlefield Hardline‘s release on March 17. Subsequent weeks will offer bonuses like Gold Battlepacks, special dog tags, wallpaper, and more Community Missions like this one.

Battlefield 4‘s most recent downloadable content release, Final Stand, capped off a season of add-ons, but DICE, the series’ lead developer, has assured fans that Final Stand is not the end for new content coming to Battlefield 4.

Two characters in power armor in Fallout 4.

The Fallout TV series just released on Amazon Prime, and it's one of the best video game adaptations out there. It perfectly captures the tense, humorous feel of the postapocalyptic video game series while telling a new story with original characters. If you've just watched the show, you're probably itching to play a Fallout title again or check out one of the games the series is based on for the first time. Thankfully, if you're subscribed to one of the major video game subscription services, that's very easy to do.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 are all on at least one gaming subscription service. While PC and Xbox players will be looking to Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation owners can get in on the fun with PS Plus Extra's game catalog. We've combed through what's available on PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass, and PS Plus Extra, and there's no shortage of options. Here are the best starting points on each service.
