Developer DICE has released the full and final Battlefield 6 PC system requirements ahead of the military shooter's release on Friday, October 10. As a rare treat, we've actually gotten granular breakdowns of what performance you can expect at various settings.

These specs match (and expand on) the minimum and recommended specs released for the Battlefield 6 beta. Last month, EA said "a substantial number" of beta players did not meet even the minimum specs for the game, arguing the value and importance of letting folks with weaker hardware get in somehow.

The full Battlefield 6 system requirements cover the full spectrum of budget to lavish rigs. At minimum you'll need 55GB of space on a hard drive, for example, while rigs at recommended levels and above will want 90GB open on an SSD. When you get into Ultra++ territory, DLSS super resolution takes over the native upscaler to help prop up performance.

Here's an at-a-glance breakdown of how the specs shake out at different levels of performance.

Minimum

  • 1080p, 30 FPS, low settings
  • RTX 2060 / Radeon RX 5600 XT / Intel Arc A380 (6GB VRAM)
  • Intel i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
  • 16GB RAM (2133mhz)
  • (Windows 10 is listed as a supported OS, but remember, Microsoft will end support for it on October 14)
  • Balanced - 1440p, 60 FPS, high settings / Performance - 1080p, 80FPS+, low settings
  • RTX 3060 TI / Radeon RX 6700 XT / Intel Arc B580 (8GB VRAM)
  • Intel i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
  • 16GB RAM (3200mhz)

Ultra

  • Balanced - 4K, 60 FPS, ultra settings / Performance - 1440p, 144 FPS, medium settings
  • RTX 4080 / Radeon RX 7900 XTX (16GB VRAM)
  • Intel i9-12900k / Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  • 32GB RAM (4800mhz)

Ultra++

  • 4K 144hz, 144 FPS, high settings (DLSS) / 4K 240hz, 240 FPS+, ultra settings (DLSS with multiframe generation)
  • RTX 5080 with 16GB VRAM (no AMD equivalent listed)
  • Intel Core 9 Ultra 285k / Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • 32GB RAM (4800mhz)

Battlefield 6 players fear Closed Weapons mode was unfairly buried in the beta, but DICE lead says "we did measure" how many people picked it based on where it was in menus
