Visceral has announced the first details about the upcoming Battlefield Hardline beta, including that it will be available to everyone on all platforms.

A blog post from the game's executive producer Steve Papoutsis explains the beta will be on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, and also reveals there won't be a cap on the max progression level you can achieve, meaning you can unlock as many classes and gadgets as you can.

"While it's just a taste of the whole game, we want you to come in, take your jacket off, stay awhile," he writes. "There won't be a cap on the max progression level so whether you’re busting criminals or fleeing the cops, unlock away. The beta is your shot to test the different classes, toy with different gadgets, and find your crew to take down your foes.

"To be frank, we want you to play this beta to death. We need you to. This test is only going to make the game stronger, and help us take a look at ways we can ensure we deliver the most stable launch you deserve."

While all that is nice, Visceral also forgets to mention exactly when we can expect the beta. Hardline is due out in March, so hopefully that means the beta won't be too far away.
