Thanks to a list of specs on the Battlefield Labs FAQ, we may have our first indication of the Battlefield 6 system requirements, although these specs are entirely subject to change as we move ever closer to release.
Battlefield 6 is set to be one of the biggest games of 2025, and while we wait for the official PC specs, we've noticed that the Battlefield Labs program comes with its own set of requirements that gamers will need to meet in order to take part. The good news? If these specs do end up being somewhat close to what is needed to run Battlefield 6, you're not going to require one of the best graphics card picks from our buying guide to start playing.
The Battlefield Labs system requirements are as follows:
Minimum | Recommended | |
OS | N/A | N/A |
GPU | Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT |
VRAM | 6GB | 8GB (Nvidia) 12GB (AMD) |
CPU | Intel Core i5 8400 AMD Ryzen 5 2600 |
Intel Core i7 10700 AMD Ryzen 7 3700X |
RAM | 16GB | 16GB |
Storage | 30GB | 30GB |
Battlefield Labs is a community collaboration scheme that EA is using to get player feedback for Battlefield 6 concepts and mechanics before they are made public. This leads us to assume that those invited to the program will need PCs able to run some preliminary version of what will eventually become Battlefield 6, in turn giving us a hint at the eventual Battlefield 6 requirements.
If, and it's currently a big if, these specs resemble anything close to what Battlefield 6 eventually demands, then it's right on par with most modern triple-A games in 2025.
Nothing about these specs raises any cause for concern, even the fact that the specs start at an RTX 2060 isn't too alarming, as this was a budget GPU even at the time of release, so it shouldn't be hard to surpass, provided your gaming PC or laptop is only a few years old.
One aspect of these specs that we doubt will carry into the full release is the stated file size. We'd put good money on the Battlefield 6 download size being well north of just 30GB, but we won't speculate on what that final figure may be just yet.
For now, the Battlefield Labs content is only going to be available to players invited into the scheme, and they will have to sign an NDA to take part, meaning you shouldn't expect to hear any more from participants about the service until EA decides to reveal it.
