EA DICE is releasing an Open Beta of Battlefield 6 multiplayer later this month. Those who watched the Battlefield 6 multiplayer reveal showcase get to play the game between August 7-8. The first weekend when the servers are live are between August 9-10, and the second weekend between August 14-17. There will be a limited selection of maps, and while the Open Beta closely resembles the final release, it will not have the same eye-candy, and so the developers put out a PC System Requirements list exclusively for the Open Beta. The game's final specs list may differ.

For 1080p @ 30 FPS with low settings—the bare minimum, the developers recommend at least a GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 5600 XT, or Arc A380 "Alchemist" graphics card, with at least 6 GB of video memory. It also calls for at least an Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 six-core processor, with 16 GB of dual-channel memory. Windows 10 with DirectX 12 and 75 GB of disk space are required. There are two recommended specs tiers, "balanced" and "performance." The balanced recommended specs are for 1440p @ 60 FPS with High settings, while the "performance" specs are for 1080p @ 80+ FPS with Low settings. They both need you to have at least a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, or a Radeon RX 6700 XT, or Arc B580 "Battlemage." The video memory required is 8 GB. CPU requirements are at least a Core i7-10700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, with 16 GB of memory; Windows 11, and DirectX 12.Whether you're on Windows 10 or Windows 11, the game has certain platform security requirements. These include the platform having a TPM 2.0 compatible root of trust, UEFI Secure Boot, VBS (virtualization-based security), and HVCI (hypervisor-protected code integrity); which is the stock security configuration of Windows 11 24H2. It's likely that even the final product will have these security requirements.
