Battlefield 6 PC Specs: Surprisingly Chill, and No EA App Hassle for Steam Peeps!
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Battlefield 6's PC specs aren't going to break the bank (hopefully), and Steam players are dodging the EA App bullet. Looks like EA might be learning from their past mistakes… maybe.
Right, so after that Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal blew our eardrums to kingdom come, the good news is trickling in. Seems like EA's actually trying to be our mates this time around... mostly. According to the chaps over at Rock Paper Shotgun, the PC specs aren't going to require a second mortgage on your graphics card, and Steam users get a free pass on the dreaded EA App.
EA's been a bit cagey on the official spec front, promising more deets "further down the line." But fear not! The Battlefield 6 Steam page has spilled the beans on both minimum and recommended setups. Let's have a butcher's, shall we?
**Minimum Specs:** * Processor: Intel Core i5-7600K or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 * RAM: 16GB * Storage: 55GB (HDD or SSD, Windows 10 required) * Graphics: Nvidia RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB
Fair dinkum, that's not too shabby, is it? If your rig's not ancient history, you might just be able to scrape by. Though, EA's being tight-lipped about what kind of performance you can expect. Think of it as the bare minimum to witness the explosions, not necessarily *enjoy* them.
**Recommended Specs:** * Processor: Intel Core i7-10700, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X * RAM: 16GB * Storage: 80GB * Operating System: Windows 11 * Graphics: Nvidia RTX 3060Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6700-XT
Again, no promises of buttery-smooth frame rates at max settings, but it *should* be a decent experience. Emphasis on *should*. We all remember the… *interesting* Battlefield launches of yesteryear. Let's hope this one goes smoother than a greased-up gremlin.
Now, the real kicker: Steam users get to bypass the EA App! Hallelujah! According to the Rock Paper Shotgun report, you'll still need an EA account (because, you know, gotta track those microtransactions somehow), but at least you won't have to juggle multiple launchers. But if you're buying through the Epic Games store, you're stuck with both - seems the Fortnite crowd just can't catch a break.
And one last thing, EA wants you to know you don't need to be a Battlefield veteran to jump into this one. So even if you're only vaguely aware of what a battlefield *is*, you're good to go.
