Therefore, you can let us know in case the game servers are offline thus momentarily not allowing you play Battlefield 1.
It seems that the mastermind of the latest attack on battlefield 1 servers is the Phantom Squad who has claimed responsibility for the attack. "We will be keeping Battlefield 1 servers down. We are waiting for starskids to have an autistic breakdown," state the hacker group in an official tweet.
