Battlefield 2042 is headed for another round of testing as EA kicks off its open beta on October 8 - or October 6 if you've pre-ordered the game. Unfortunately, the barrier to entry is a little steeper than it was during the closed beta, meaning you might need a beefier gaming PC to meet Battlefield 2042's new and not-so-improved system requirements.
Much like before, you'll need at least 100GB of free storage to house the game. You'll benefit from putting it on an SSD rather than any old mechanical hard drive, too. In a song you'll likely have heard time and time again, you'll need 8GB of RAM to run the game at minimum, while 16GB is recommended. Nvidia DLSS even makes another appearance, so you can boost fps and hit a higher resolution.
The heart of your rig is where things get a little tricky, as EA has raised the bar from the closed beta in August. Intel users will still be able to play the game with the same equipment as before, but those on team red will now need to sport an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 to run the game. This was the previous recommended gaming CPU, but is now the bare minimum.
