Battlefield 6 system requirements

Can I run Battlefield 6?

To run the Battlefield 6 system requirements, you'll need an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU, an Intel Core i5-8400 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 55GB of HDD space.

The Battlefield 6 minimum requirements call for an AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT or similar graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 processor, and 16GB of RAM. This is fairly high for older laptops, but lower than what your average mid-range gaming rig should already be running. Unfortunately, we don't have any performance indicators at this point, so it's unclear if the minimum requirements will net you a stable 30FPS, nor what resolutions and/or upscaling options are required (as we are starting to see all too often in system requirement announcements).

As for the Battlefield 6 recommended specs, you'll need an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU, paired with an Intel Core i7-10700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU, and 16GB of RAM. This is a bit more demanding than the minimum requirements, but nothing outlandish for a modern AAA title. Interestingly, the recommended specs actually seem to require Windows 11 over Windows 10 (which is listed against the minimum requirements). This could be a hard requirement, or more of a recommendation considering that Windows 10 will lose support as of October 2025.

Overall, the Battlefield 6 requirements aren't particularly demanding, but there's a good chance that they'll increase or decrease depending on the results of the beta and any subsequent optimizations. Alternatively, the developer could reveal that upscaling is a requirement, obscuring what the true hardware demands are to render the game at a good FPS at native resolution.

If, however, you want to play the game at its very best and meet the Battlefield 6 ultra specs, you'll need some high-spec hardware, including an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU, an Intel Core i9 12900K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, and 32GB of RAM. The RAM demands alone will exclude more than half of all Steam players - according to the latest Steam Hardware Survey results, anyway - so you may well need an upgrade if you want to crank up the game's settings to their highest.

Battlefield 6 size - How big is Battlefield 6?

The recommended hard drive space is 90GB of SSD space to download the game on PC. Battlefield 6 also utilises modular installation which means you can select what components of the game you install. For example, you can install the campaign or mulitiplayer seperately to save on install space.

For other features such as HD textures. If you need more space to handle a full install, or want to make an upgrade, check the PCGamesN buyers guide for the best SSD for gaming.

Battlefield 6 Steam Deck - Is the game verified?

Battlefield 6 will not work on the Steam Deck due to the Secure Boot requirement of their Javelin anti-cheat system which is a requirement. In order to make use of the game's anti-cheat system, players will also require security features such as Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 which are available on modern hardware. These are usually enabled via your PC's BIOS settings. Older systems are likely to run into problems when trying to run the game without these active.
