Overview

  • EA published Battlefield 6’s official PC features and requirements, highlighting 4K with uncapped frame rate, full ultrawide support, 600+ customization options, and day-one DLSS 4, FSR, and XeSS, with developers noting many beta players were on minimum-spec hardware.
  • Ultra targets call for an RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX, high-end CPUs and 32GB RAM, while minimum lists RTX 2060-class GPUs, i5-8400/Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB RAM, and 55GB storage, with 90GB SSD recommended.
  • Javelin anti-cheat is confirmed for launch and requires TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot on PC, a trade-off the team says is necessary to curb cheating despite setup friction for some players.
  • New Battlefield Labs sessions feature first playtime on the large-scale Operation Firestorm remake and Mirak Valley, with testing focused on vehicular combat, weapon and gadget balance, and early Hardcore mode tuning.
  • An in-game server browser returns in a limited Portal-only form with persistent, player-hosted servers under evaluation for UI, stability, and accessibility; sign-ups for Labs have reopened with access remaining limited ahead of the October 10 launch.
