Can your PC run Battlefield 6? Full system requirements and multiplayer details revealed

[midian182]

What just happened? Most big PC releases these days come with the anxiety of whether your PC will be able to play them well – or at all. Thankfully, Battlefield 6's just-revealed PC requirements are pretty forgiving. DICE and EA have also unveiled a slew of extra information about the FPS, including more on its multiplayer element and next month's Open Betas.

Battlefield 6's minimum system requirements ask for at least an RTX 2060, RX 5600 XT 6GB, or Intel Arc A380 paired with an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 alongside 16GB of RAM. Considering the RTX 2060 came out in 2019, most people should be able to play the game. Even the minimum storage is a comparatively modest 55 GB.

The recommended system requirements – an area where we've seen some big asks in recent times – aren't too bad, either. An RTX 3060 Ti, Radeon RX 6700 XT, or Arc B580 is the recommendation, along with an Intel Core i7-10700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X. The storage requirement also jumps to 80 GB.

For a recent comparison, Borderlands 4's recommended specs are an RTX 3080, a Core i7-12700, and 32GB of RAM.

Companies tend to list elements like 4K-resolution demands and expected frame rates with their system requirements. Those are lacking, but the Battlefield 6 website states that more PC-specific details will be revealed closer to launch.

It'll be interesting to see if this is another game where upscaling is a requirement. The Open Beta PC specs mention Balanced (1440p/60FPS/High settings) and Performance (1080p/80fps+/low settings), which may refer to upscaling levels.

In addition to the PC requirements, it's been confirmed that there will be free Open Beta weekends ahead of Battlefield 6's October 10 launch date. These take place on August 9-10 and August 14-17. There's also an Early Access Beta taking place on August 7 – 8, available as Twitch Drops to people who watch streamers playing the game.

Check out the multiplayer trailer below, which, thanks to the use of a remixed version of "Break Stuff," suggests Limp Bizkit will never go out of style when it comes to action game and movie trailers.

Battlefield 6 will see the return of the classic classes: Assault, Engineer, Support, and Recon. Learn more about them in the trailer.

There's also a video about the game's maps, modes, and the Portal sandbox mode from Battlefield 2042. Battlefield 6 will have nine maps at launch, including Gibraltar, Tajikistan, and Brooklyn, New York. There's even a remastered version of Battlefield 3's Operation Firestorm.

The other bit of good news for Battlefield fans is that BF 6 won't cost $80 for the base game, as was expected. Like Microsoft, EA is backing away from this price point – for now.

Can your PC run Battlefield 6? Full system requirements and multiplayer details revealed

 

[winjer]

I can already see some people having trouble running this game on PC, due it's requirements with TPM2, Secure Boot, HVCI, VBS.

 

[dangh]

Yeah, it most probably won't run on Linux, but that's fine, I have no delusion EA won't monetize a sh#t out of it, don't believe they will do anything better than previous bug fests, and hell let loose already is nearly complete game for my needs.

 

[Liranan]

I only see one system requirement: EA

 

[Megalomaniac]

Let's see 285k? Check
5090? Check
64GB DDR5? Check
4TB storage? Check
4K Monitor? Check

I'd say I'll be OK.

I’m honestly fine with this, cheaters properly ruin games like battlefield.

 

[texasrattler]

$70 for the game but just like COD their will be a Battle Pass that you'll likely need to buy or will at least want to so that you'll have quick access to a gun or skin you may want.
My PC is already outdated. My 1070 is old, may run it but not well. I want a 5070 ti but not over $700. Imo not worth it.

These people are using Linux anyway, and they don't play games unless they look like fallout 2.

 

[ioliveirafarias]

Maybe the players will cann't player the game too. I had so many expectations about 2042, but ended up playing BF5, Warzone and even Delta Force.

 

[Theinsanegamer]

These people are using Linux anyway, and they don't play games unless they look like fallout 2.

Plenty of Windows users disable VBS for the performance impact. Plenty of linux users play more then fallout 2 type games. That's just objective fact.

Some of us also disable Secure boot because it is a POS that loves to screw with boot settings and updates. Especially Dell, theirs is beyond broken.

I’m honestly fine with this, cheaters properly ruin games like battlefield.

None of this will stop cheaters. TPM2.0 has already been cracked open and if cheaters are willing to buy new copies to cheat with, buying cheap TPM chips will be simple for them. The rest wont stop cheating tools.

The easiest way to stop cheating is to host the games server side and do server side file checks, not client side, or allow us to host private servers. But that requires more server power and can have performance impacts; or would give the consumer more control over their product, so rather then work on that they keep putting things on client side and adding esoteric requirements that will only inconvenience paying players.

VBI and HVCI required? Well, I'm not getting this game.

 

[Warcrown]

System requirements mean next to nothing honestly. It's 2025 now and optimized games that actually run according to their requirements are getting fewer and farther between

 

[Kirby1]

VBI and HVCI required? Well, I'm not getting this game.

The article doesn't actually say the game requires any of that, but often times anti cheat software will require TPM and secure boot at least.

 

[umeng2002]

It says it in the official image of the PC requirements.

Ah, had to zoom in to see that from my phone.

Still, it's kinda standard for anti-cheat these days. Not saying it's good but it's not new.

 

[BrightlightJohn]

AMD 5800X3D CHECK
32 Gigabytes CHECK
2 Terabytes storage Check
AMD 6750 AMD GPU Check
It will run good but likely not at the highest setting.

I'm sorry you missed the joke.

I never said it would completely stop cheaters. As far as I can tell, cheaters will always cheat.

However, it does lower the amount of cheaters in games, I cannot be the only one who's played a lot of different multiplayer games and the ones that are more forceful with their requirements, I definitely run into less cheaters.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the private servers in BF3/4 as I got to know the Admins of my favourite servers and honestly, human admins filtering out cheaters tends to work best. I still think having a decent anti-cheat helps filter out the kids who want to try out a cheap cheat vs dedicated cheaters.

Speaking of which, anyone here heard if BF6 is going back to the BF3/4 days where you can hire out your own server? It's a shame they won't let us host our own private servers, but if they compromised like they did with BF3/4 with allowed third party hosting companies you could hire servers from, that would help bring back the server admins ability to kick and ban cheaters.

How does it lower cheaters in games? Three of these things are totally unrelated, and would be like locking your car doors so your house doesn't burn down. The only one that might have an effect is TOM, but if buying new game copies isn't stopping cheaters, a cheap TPM chip (which has already been cracked open) isn't going to dissuade them either.

Dont waste your energy arguing with this person. He only argues for the sake of it and he will never adjust his stance under any circumstances, and he will argue a completely incorrect point endlessly. He's not a serious person, he's just here to argue with people.

how is he wrong?
why does CS2 have way more cheaters than Valorant? Valorant forces many of these for anticheat, but its also a kernel level anticheat. Which im guessing EA will do with this game as well since its windows only just like Valorant.

edit - yep

Battlefield 6 is the first Battlefield to launch with EA's new kernel-level Javelin Anticheat

Battlefield 6 is only the latest AAA multiplayer shooter to require installing its own kernel-level anticheat package.

Since they are going to the roots, I think it is very likely they will include a classic DLC/pack with extra maps and weapons like in bf3-bf4.

 

[Watzupken]

Till the game is released, I would think it is best to avoid speculating whether certain hardware config will run well even if it meets or exceeds the requirement. Wuchang Fallen Feathers is a good example. For all you know, it may require some sort of DLSS or FSR to get to the target resolution and frame rate. Games from big publishers have been notoriously bad when it comes to optimization and focusing on fancy graphics to make up for the poor gameplay.
