  • Battlefield 2042 PC Requirements

    Time to see if your PC is up to snuff.

    DICE, by way of the official Battlefield Twitter account, just revealed the minimum and recommended PC specs you will need for Battlefield 2042. Now, while they do specify that these are the requirements for the open beta, it's not hard to imagine that these will also be very close or identical to the specs you will need for the final game when it launches on November 19.

    Looking at the specs that they suggest, there are definitely a couple of things that stand out to me. First off, they aren't really saying what resolutions and framerates they are targeting with any of these specs. Secondly, the CPUs they listed, specifically on the AMD side of things seem a little off. The AMD Ryzen 3600 is clocked slightly slower than the AMD 2700X and it has two fewer cores (4 fewer threads), but the newer architecture (Zen 2) on the 3600 means it often outperforms the previous-gen 2700X. When it comes to gaming this means that the Ryzen 3600 has higher average framerates and higher 1% lows compared to the 2700X. I'm really not sure what's going on with these requirements.

    Anyway, here are the current requirements that may or may not change prior to the game's full release.

      Battlefield 2042 Review: A Battlefield in Ruins
      by Shawn Zipay
      Battlefield 2042 is a shallow, feature-lacking mess of a game that appeals to neither long-time franchise fans nor newcomers.

      The release of Battlefield 2042 on November 19th should have been a joyous occasion for fans of the franchise. Instead, what the world received was a broken mess of a game that has long-standing "legacy" features removed, barren maps, and a tone that was often at odds with itself. Even after receiving three major post-launch updates, there is very...

      Helicopters about to be a whole lot more annoying.

      If you thought taking down helicopters, especially the stealth choppers, were a pain in the ass before just you wait for Update 5.0.0 to drop for Battlefield 2042.
