The beta for Battlefield 6, both of the Closed and Open variety, is here in less than a week. Starting on August 7th, the Closed Beta will kick off for those that snagged a code from watching streamers and those that signed up for Battlefield Labs prior to July 31st.
If you're wondering if your computer will be able to run the Battlefield 6 beta, you've come to the right place (assuming you haven't already seen the requirements on the official Battlefield site).
The good news is that you won't need a top of the line system to play the beta comfortably. The bad news is that you will need to have several security features enabled on your system due to the anti-cheat system being used in Battlefield 6. You more than likely have those security features enabled already anyway.

Additional news, this time from a Reddit post by someone in the Battlefield Labs testing, saying that Battlefield 6 already supports DLSS, FSR 3, and XeSS 2. They also say that there are Frame Generation options for both DLSS and AMD included as well. However, they did not share word on if it was DLSS 4 or FSR 4 being used, but it wouldn't be too surprising if the latest versions of all of these technologies were included in the game's full launch.
As for why you will need some of those security measures enabled on your system, it's due to the anti-cheat being used for Battlefield 6. They're calling it Javelin Anticheat and it seems to be an updated version of the EA anticheat that was used recently in Battlefield 2042.
In their Battlefield 6 FAQ, the studios say that Javelin "has been built from the ground up by a team of veteran engineers and analysts focused on studying cheating problems for each specific game under EA's umbrella and designing unique features to solve those issues." Javelin is also already in use in the Battlefield Labs version of Battlefield 6. As you may expect, Javelin is a kernel-level anticheat much like nearly every modern anticheat system, aside from VAC..
