Battlefield 2042’s minimum and recommended system requirements have been revealed. If you’re aiming to play on PC, here’s everything there is to know ahead of the November launch.

With Battlefield 2042, EA is pushing the popular FPS franchise to new heights. Through bigger player counts and more expansive maps, technical ambition is through the roof.

As a result, the upcoming BF title is set to launch on new-gen hardware.

Regardless of your build, a lengthy list of options allows you to fine-tune the experience to fit your gaming rig.

Here’s what you need to know about the minimum and recommended specs.
