EA and DICE published a detailed PC requirements table for Battlefield 6. Below is a clear, original summary of those requirements, what each performance tier aims to deliver, and practical advice for players preparing their PCs.
Quick overview
The developer-provided breakdown defines four practical tiers — Minimum, Recommended, Ultra, and an extreme Ultra++ level. Each tier lists target frame rates and resolutions, example GPUs and CPUs, memory and storage guidance, and a set of required platform security features.
Official PC Requirements
MINIMUM

- DirectX: DirectX 12
- Storage: 55GB* HDD (At Launch)
RECOMMENDED
Balanced: 1440p @ 60FPS (High Settings) or Performance: 1080p @ 80FPS+ (Low Settings) • Native
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT / Intel Arc B580
- VRAM: 8GB
- CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
- RAM: 16GB (Dual Channel 3200MHz)
- OS: Windows 11 64-bit
- DirectX: DirectX 12
- Storage: 90GB* SSD (At Launch)
ULTRA
Balanced: 2160p[4K] @ 60FPS (Ultra Settings) or Performance: 1440p @ 144FPS (Medium Settings) • Native
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 / AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
- VRAM: 16GB
- CPU: Intel Core i9-12900k / AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- RAM: 32GB (Dual Channel 4800MHz)
- OS: Windows 11 64-bit
- DirectX: DirectX 12
- Storage: 90GB* SSD (At Launch)
ULTRA++
4K @ 144Hz: High Settings or 4K @ 240FPS+: Ultra Settings • DLSS Super Resolution & Multiframe Generation
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
- VRAM: 16GB
- CPU: Intel Core 9 Ultra 285k / AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- RAM: 32GB (Dual Channel 4800MHz)
- OS: Windows 11 64-bit
- DirectX: DirectX 12
- Storage: 90GB* SSD (At Launch)
* Estimated disk space. All tiers require: TPM 2.0 enabled, UEFI Secure Boot enabled, HVCI capable, VBS capable.
Other mandatory platform requirements
- TPM 2.0 must be enabled.
- UEFI Secure Boot is required.
- HVCI (Hypervisor-protected Code Integrity) capable.
- VBS (Virtualization-based Security) capable.
These firmware and security features are enforced at the system level and may require a BIOS/UEFI setting change on older motherboards.
What the tiers mean in practice
The Minimum tier makes the game accessible to many modern PCs — but 30 FPS on a large online map with heavy effects will feel variable. The Recommended tier targets smooth high-settings play at 1080p/1440p and represents the most realistic sweet spot for mainstream gamers.
Ultra targets true high-end experiences (4K with ultra quality or very high refresh competitive play). Ultra++ is aimed at extreme rigs that combine very powerful GPUs, upscaling/frame generation technologies, and high-refresh 4K displays.
Tuning tips
- Use GPU upscaling (DLSS, FSR, XeSS) when available — it can dramatically raise frame rates with small visual cost.
- If you're between tiers, prioritize a faster GPU first, then CPU; many large multi-player scenes are GPU bound.
- Install the game on an SSD if you want faster load times and better streaming of high-detail assets.
- Check your firmware for TPM and Secure Boot options before launch; enabling them may be necessary to play.
