Battlefield 6 system requirements are in, and you probably won't need to upgrade your PC to run it
I wasn't excited about the Battlefield 6 announcement because I didn't think my aging PC would run it well. But that's not the case at all: the Battlefield 6 minimum requirements are definitely manageable, and even the recommended specs aren't too crazy.
If you're rocking the six-year-old RTX 2060 with an i5-8400, and have at least 16GB RAM—which is basically essential, nowadays—then you'll be able to play Battlefield 6, or so says EA, at least. What's more surprising is the recommended specs: while they don't specify what resolution and framerate you can expect with this config, it seems you'll be able to enjoy Battlefield 6 the way it's intended with an RTX 3060Ti / RX 6700-XT and an i7-10700 / Ryzen 7 3700X.
Even the storage demands are pretty small by modern blockbuster standards: minimum is 55GB and max is 80GB. Based on the difference here, it's possible that you'll be able to install multiplayer, the campaign, and Battlefield Portal separately, but we'll ask EA about that.
For those hoping to play Battlefield 6 on Steam Deck, unfortunately there's "no dedicated support", presumably because EA's anti-cheat system won't play nice with SteamOS. That said, it'll likely be easy to play Battlefield 6 on a Windows-based handheld.
The system requirements below are published on the Battlefield 6 Steam page, but the Battlefield 6 FAQ keeps it vague. "We will be revealing more PC specific details as we get closer to launch, but our goal is to have the game perform well across a solid spectrum of hardware".

How to join the Battlefield 6 beta
We got our first good look at how warfare is evolving in Battlefield 6 thanks to a series of new multiplayer trailers that have inspired a lot of confidence after the resounding disappointment that was 2042. However, with video games, seeing isn't believing — playing is. EA claims this will be the most impressive entry yet, with multiple studios contributing to development under the banner of Battlefield Studios. The return of the class system, focus on 64-player battles, and unreal levels of destruction all look promising, but we will only know for sure when we get our hands on the game. The release date is set for October 10, but you can enlist early to play in the beta. How to join the Battlefield 6 beta EA is hosting an open beta for Battlefield 6 across two weekends. The first opportunity to play will start on Saturday, August 9 and end the following day. The second weekend will be a little longer, starting on Thursday, August 14 and lasting all the way until Sunday, August 17. You can also try your luck at getting into the beta first beta two days early on August 7 by watching select streamers and claiming Twitch drops. Recommended Videos Being open betas, there are no restrictions or hoops to jump through to play Battlefield 6. As early as August 4, everyone will be able to preload the multiplayer beta so you can have it all set for when the servers go live. This beta is confirmed to feature Conquest, Breakthrough, Squad Deathmatch, and the Domination game modes on four of the nine maps that will be available at launch. Besides getting hands on the game early, there's more incentive to play the Battlefield 6 beta. Anyone who plays during the first weekend will get the following rewards: Seeker Soldier Skin All Terrain Soldier Skin Dominion Weapon Package Lights Out Player Card Background More If you play on the second weekend, you can get yourself: War Machine Vehicle Skin Bat Company Dog Tag Striking Distance Weapon Package Battlefield 6 is a cross-platform game, but the beta may or may not feature crossplay.

SpaceX rocket sets reuse record on 500th Falcon 9 launch
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. SpaceX conducted its 500th Falcon 9 rocket launch early this morning (July 2) and broke its own reuse record in the process. The milestone mission lifted off with 27 Starlink satellites at 2:28 a.m. EDT (0628 GMT) today from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The rocket entered space about nine minutes after leaving the ground and deployed the new units for SpaceX's broadband internet network 55 minutes later. Booster 1067 missions CRS-22 | Crew-3 | Turksat 5B | Crew-4 | CRS-25 | Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G | O3B mPOWER | PSN SATRIA | Telkomsat Marah Putih 2 | Galileo L13 | Koreasat-6A | 18 Starlink missions On the way to orbit, the Falcon 9's most-flown first stage, Booster 1067, separated from its upper stage and flew back to a landing on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" in the Atlantic Ocean. It was the 29th successful recovery for this stage, three more than any other in SpaceX's fleet. It was the 472nd Falcon 9 first stage landing since December 2015, and the 439th reuse of a SpaceX rocket. The 27 satellites (Group 10-25) added to the more than 7,900 active Starlink relays in low Earth orbit. The Starlink megaconstellation — the largest in history — provides broadband internet access and limited direct-to-cell service in remote areas around the world. SpaceX launched its first Falcon 9 rocket on June 4, 2010. Since then, the vehicle has gone through five major revisions, leading to the current Block 5 model that is used to launch satellites, robotic planetary missions and astronauts. The most-launched U.S. rocket in history, of its 500 missions, all but five all but five have been fully successful.

SpaceX launches 19 Starlink satellites from California, lands rocket on ship at sea (video)
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. SpaceX just sent another batch of its Starlink broadband satellites into the final frontier. A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 19 Starlink craft lifted off from California's foggy Vandenberg Space Force Base today (July 31) at 2:35 p.m. EDT (1835 GMT; 11:35 a.m. local California time). The rocket's first stage came back to Earth as planned about 8.5 minutes later, touching down in the Pacific Ocean on the SpaceX drone ship named "Of Course I Still Love You." It was the 27th launch and landing for this particular booster, which is designated 1071. That's just two shy of the company's reuse record, which was set earlier this month — and on the 500th overall Falcon 9 launch, no less. Booster 1071's previous missions NROL-87 | NROL-85 | SARah-1 | SWOT | Transporter-8 | Transporter-9 | Transporter-13 | NROL-146 | Bandwagon-2 | NROL-153 | NROL-192 | 15 Starlink missions The Falcon 9's upper stage continued carrying the 19 Starlink satellites toward low Earth orbit. That's where they'll be deployed 63 minutes after launch, if all goes according to plan. They'll join the more than 8,000 other active satellites in the Starlink megaconstellation, the biggest spacecraft assemblage ever constructed. Today's Starlink launch — the 94th Falcon 9 mission of the year already — was supposed to be the second half of a spaceflight doubleheader. SpaceX tried to launch the Crew-11 astronaut mission to the International Space Station for NASA today but scrubbed the attempt with about a minute left on the countdown clock due to bad weather.
