As Battlefield 2042’s release date steadily approaches, many of us are wondering whether or not our current PC builds will be able to handle its system requirements. The first-person shooter looked impressive in its first gameplay trailer and, as GPU prices show no signs of dropping, the difficulty of potentially upgrading our rigs is keeping some of us on edge.
With Battlefield 2042’s open beta test announcement, also came our first look at official system requirements.
BF2042’s system requirements will tap into the power of the newer generations of video cards but won’t completely forsake older builds. As is often the case with a new entry in the series, you may want to consider an upgrade if you’re looking for a smooth framerate and maximum details.

Battlefield 2042’s Open Beta system requirements should give us a good idea of the hardware we’ll need to run the full game when it launches later in November. They are, however, not final and, depending on how the test goes, we could see tweaks in the lead-up to launch.
