EA is promising Battlefield 6 will provide “one of the best PC expertise within the historical past of the franchise,” together with 4K decision, 21:9 and 32:9 ultrawide displays, HDR, uncapped framerates, each PS5 and Xbox gamepad assist, the power to create and browse servers, streamer and incognito modes, and more — but it surely gained’t require highly effective {hardware} and even an SSD to get a bare-minimum expertise. A 7-year-old funds PC would possibly do the job.
If you happen to’re prepared to accept 1080p at 30fps in a on-line shooter (I gained’t choose!) an RTX 2060 or RX 5600 XT or Arc A380 GPU with 6GB of video reminiscence is sufficient, with 16GB of RAM, 55GB of onerous drive area, and a Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600 or equal.
That’s even barely decrease than the open beta required, which wanted 75GB of storage, and at this time’s the primary time we’re seeing what builders say it’ll take to play at 4K60 Extremely (you’ll need fairly potent CPU and GPU for that).
Although, BF6 is providing a full complement of Nvidia, AMD, and Intel super-resolution and latency discount methods (DLSS 4, FSR 4, XeSS 2) with body technology if you happen to don’t want a local 4K picture.
Sadly, I gained’t have the ability to get my associates to play it with me: they’re boycotting over its lack of Linux support, as BF6’s anti-cheat spares no thought for these of us attempting to ditch Home windows. I favored the couple hours I spent with the beta, however I do share PC Gamer’s concerns concerning the measurement and tempo and was glad to listen to about the changes.
