EA has officially pulled back the curtain on Battlefield 6, revealing gameplay footage, a release date of October 10, and details for the upcoming open beta in August. Alongside the announcement, the publisher shared the PC specs needed to run the game—broken down into three tiers. Overall, the requirements are fairly modest by today’s standards.
Unlike many studios, Electronic Arts provided specific performance expectations for each spec tier, including target resolution, visual quality, and expected frame rates. Interestingly, the suggested hardware mostly includes components from previous generations, meaning most current setups should handle the game without issue.
Minimum Requirements – 1080p at 30 FPS
To run Battlefield 6 at basic settings (Full HD, 30 frames per second), you’ll need mid-range hardware that’s already a few years old. These specs are accessible for most gaming PCs released in the last five to six years.
Minimum PC Specs:
- OS: Windows 10
- CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- RAM: 16 GB (2133 MHz)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 2060, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, or Intel Arc A380
- Storage: 75 GB
Recommended Specs – 1440p at 60 FPS or 1080p at 80+ FPS
If you’re aiming for sharper visuals or smoother gameplay, EA suggests hardware capable of running the game at 1440p on high settings with a steady 60 FPS, or over 80 FPS at 1080p using lower settings.
Recommended PC Specs:
- OS: Windows 11
- CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- RAM: 16 GB (3200 MHz)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, or Intel Arc B580
- Storage: 75 GB
A Few Notes Before You Jump In
These specs are based on the upcoming open beta, which is scheduled to run at various points throughout August. It’s worth keeping in mind that system requirements for the final release in October may change.
Also important: EA has confirmed that the full version will require support for TPM 2.0, UEFI Secure Boot, HVCI, and VBS—features often tied to Windows 11 security settings.
At launch, the game will take up 75 GB of storage, but the beta version may require less.
EA is giving players a clear roadmap of what to expect with Battlefield 6, making it easier for PC gamers to prep their systems ahead of the open beta. Whether you’re playing on older gear or planning to push higher settings, this next entry in the series looks like it’s aiming for smooth, scalable performance across a wide range of setups.
