It seems that EA is keen on bringing back their Rent-a-Server program, and this time they will be implementing it with their newest World War 1-themed shooter game "Battlefield 1." After all, it is one of the most highly-anticipated games of 2016, and as such EA wants the fans to have a good idea about the game's features before it gets released.
According to Game Rant, the official "Battlefield 1" website's blog posted that after the game's release by next week, players will now have the capability to rent their own server through the use of their in-game store. EA said that this method of renting servers will ensure a higher degree of control when it comes to the quality of the hardware used since it will be the only provider for the servers.
This will also benefit the company by making the support process more centralized, since players only need to talk with EA's channels directly should any issues arise.
Of course, as fans can remember, the Rent-a-Server program from EA is not exactly new since this feature has been around to cater to PC players for many years.
Console platforms have also been using this feature as well when the third installment of "Battlefield" came out. However, instead of directly going to EA for private hosting, gamers previously used third-party partners authorized by the company in order to do it.
Regardless, Mobile & Apps reports that with EA already in direct access to the servers, players should expect a much better experience compared to before. Also, the company has promised that they will also give additional content for the "Battlefield 1" game post launch.
As such, it is possible that more details about the Rent-a-Server program will be posted as the release date of "Battlefield 1" draws near. The game will be launched on Oct. 21, and those with the EA/Origin Access members can play a portion of the game before that.
