AMD Ryzen – Battlefield 2042 PC System Requirements Revealed With Technical Playtests Starting Next Week

Battlefield 2042 developer DICE is holding the shooter’s first technical playtest between August 12 and August 15, VideoGamesChronicle reports. DICE also announced Battlefield 2042’s minimum and recommended system requirements for PC players.

The technical playtest will feature six sessions in total. Five sessions will run for three hours, while the remaining test will run for nine hours.

DICE originally played to host a playtest in July, but the event was pushed back in order to give the studio time to focus on implementing cross-play.

These playtests will host “a few thousand participants.” If you want to try your luck at registering for EA’s playtesting program, click here.
