With the "Battlefield 2042" beta set to take place on October 8 (October 6 for pre-orders), DICE has released the minimum and recommended specs for the upcoming multiplayer shooter. And gosh darn it.

In fact, if you want to enjoy this title in all its glory, you might want to consider investing in the best gaming PC or the best gaming laptop. This is because DICE's upcoming game will require a very robust gaming rig.

The minimum operating environment for "Battlefield 2042" seems quite achievable if you have a PC from the last five years or so. They are as follows:

However, once you move up to the recommended PC specs, things go sharply uphill, especially if you need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 or an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT. The specs are as follows:

These specs are intended to achieve ray tracing and show Battlefield 2042 at or near its best. To really see the best effects, and at frame rates above 60 frames per second, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 would be required.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to find a PS5 re-release or an Xbox Series X re-release, then you don't need to worry about specs and can download and play the game.
