EA has officially shared the storage requirements for Battlefield 6, and the numbers are surprisingly reasonable. In a time when many modern shooters consume massive amounts of hard drive space, Battlefield 6 looks to be a bit more storage-friendly. Scheduled for release on October 10, the highly anticipated FPS won’t force players to clear out their entire library to make room.
For those eager to jump into the action early, Battlefield 6’s open beta is just around the corner. Players can secure access by purchasing the standard edition for $70 or subscribing to EA Play Pro. However, it’s worth noting that Battlefield 6 will not be available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at launch, limiting Game Pass subscribers to EA Play’s basic tier offerings.
Battlefield 6 Storage Requirements Range from 55GB to 80GB
According to the latest update from EA and Battlefield Studios, the game’s file size will vary depending on system specs. On PC, players running the minimum requirements will see an install size of around 55GB, while those aiming for the recommended settings will need up to 80GB of free space. EA also confirmed that users will have some flexibility in choosing which game components to install, which is a welcome option for players managing limited storage.
The PC system requirements for Battlefield 6 were revealed recently as well. Minimum specs include an Nvidia RTX 2060, Intel Core i5-8400, and 16GB RAM. For those wanting a smoother experience, the recommended setup will require an RTX 3060 Ti, Intel Core i7-10700, and 16GB of RAM.
Players interested in trying out the game early can start preloading the open beta later this week. Early access for the beta kicks off on August 7 at 8 AM PT, while everyone else can join in on August 9 at 1 AM PT. The beta build will be a bit lighter than the full release, with a download size between 33GB and 39GB, depending on the platform.
Battlefield 6 is already generating impressive numbers, even ahead of its beta. SteamDB reports that over 10,000 players have launched the game on Steam, likely to adjust settings and be ready for when the servers go live. This early engagement hints at strong interest and suggests that Battlefield 6 could become one of the standout multiplayer hits of the year.
