Electronic Arts has recently shared exciting details about the upcoming Battlefield 6, particularly regarding its file size, which comes as pleasant news for players with limited storage space. Battlefield 6, one of the most anticipated first-person shooters set to launch in 2025, appears to be bucking the trend of massive game installations that have become common in the genre.

Scheduled for release on October 10, Battlefield 6 will soon offer players the opportunity to experience the game through an open beta. While the standard edition is priced at $70, EA Play Pro members will have full access to Battlefield 6 as part of their subscription. Notably, the game won't be available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at launch, as this service only includes titles from the basic EA Play catalog.

Battlefield Studios and EA have confirmed that Battlefield 6 will require between 55GB to 80GB of storage space on Steam. As reported by PC Gamer, the final installation size will vary depending on the selected game specifications, with the minimum requirements capping at 55GB and recommended settings reaching 80GB. EA has emphasized that players will have the flexibility to choose which components to install, making it particularly appealing for those with limited SSD space.

The PC system requirements for Battlefield 6 were recently unveiled, outlining the hardware needed for optimal performance. Minimum specifications include an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU, Intel Core i5-8400 processor, and 16GB of RAM. For recommended settings, players will need an Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti, Intel Core i7-10700 CPU, and the same memory capacity.

With the open beta commencing later this week, players can already begin preloading Battlefield 6. Early Access for the beta starts on August 7 at 8 AM PT, with general availability beginning on August 9 at 1 AM PT. The beta's file size will be significantly smaller than the full game, ranging from 33GB to 39GB across different platforms.

The excitement surrounding Battlefield 6 is undeniable, with the game already achieving an impressive milestone before its official release. According to SteamDB, Battlefield 6 has reached 10,000 simultaneous players on Steam despite the servers not being active yet. This remarkable interest suggests players are preparing for launch by adjusting settings and configurations in advance.
