What Just Happened?
DICE and EA have lifted the curtain on the much-anticipated Battlefield 6, revealing its PC requirements alongside exciting new details about the game’s multiplayer features. Whether your rig will handle this latest FPS addition is a question many are pondering, and thankfully, the specs are not as daunting as you might fear.
Zooming In
For those who are eager to know whether their PCs can handle the latest in digital warfare, Battlefield 6’s minimum system requirements are a relief, suggesting players need at least an NVIDIA RTX 2060, AMD RX 5600 XT 6GB, or Intel Arc A380. Pair any of these with an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and 16GB RAM, and you’re good to go. Compared to recent iterations, you don’t have to break the bank, or your PC, to join in on the fun.
The recommended requirements step it up slightly but remain accessible. Toss in an RTX 3060 Ti, Radeon RX 6700 XT, or Arc B580 with an Intel Core i7-10700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, and you’re set. A modest bump in storage needs brings you to 80 GB, but that’s still manageable by today’s standards.
For perspective, Borderlands 4 demands an RTX 3080 and 32GB of RAM to hit its recommended settings. Battlefield 6, by comparison, seems a bit more forgiving, particularly if you don’t have cash to spare on an RTX 3080 right now.
Missing are the specifics on 4K requirements or expected frame rates in the spec sheet. However, if 1440p/60FPS/High settings are your performance target (or 1080p/80fps+/Low settings), those could indicate potential upscaling support options, worth keeping an eye on.
With launch day looming, there’s no word yet on whether upscaling techs like NVIDIA’s DLSS or AMD’s FSR will be crucial to hitting those sweet performance spots, but given gaming trends, odds are they’ll play a role.
Open Beta and Beyond
Beta testers itching for a sneak peek are in luck. EA mentioned that an Open Beta will commence soon, giving players a taste of what’s to come. Expect loads of bullets, big explosions, and the kind of chaos only Battlefield can deliver.
Gamers should stay tuned as EA promises more PC-focused details closer to the launch date. Those who’ve been holding out hope that this installment isn’t a locked $70 price tag, rejoice – EA is standing pat on pricing, at least for now.
The battlefield is calling. Will your rig answer?
