DICE throws future of Battlefield custom rental servers into doubt
Battlefield V developer DICE now says it's not sure whether it will be able to "deliver" the series' traditional Rental Server Program (RSP) for the latest game in the franchise.
Both Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1 offered players the opportunity to host customizable multiplayer gameplay servers by renting server time from publisher Electronic Arts or third-party providers directly. DICE made a brief mention of server rentals for Battlefield V back in September, but only to confirm that the feature wouldn't be ready for the game's November launch.
In the months since then, players have been holding out hope that the RSP was still in the works as a post-launch addition to the game. But in a Reddit thread posted earlier this week, DICE Community Manager Dan Mitre said, "You haven't seen an update in our direction with RSP because we haven't made a full decision internally whether or not we can deliver it."
