Battlefield Hardline's open beta kicks off this week on Tuesday, Feb. 3. Today, Electronic Arts and developer Visceral Games released the minimum and recommended system specs for the Windows version of the game, and the good news is that if your gaming PC is up to playing Battlefield 4, it's probably going to play Hardline just fine.
The main difference between 2013's Battlefield 4 and Hardline is that you'll need the 64-bit versions of Windows 8 or Vista, and twice the amount of hard drive space.
Here are the system requirements, which EA says are the same for both the beta and the final release of Battlefield Hardline:
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 8 64-bit (with KB971512 Update)
- CPU: Intel quad-core CPU, AMD six-core CPU
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 290, Nvidia GeForce GTX 760
- Graphics memory: 3 GB
- Hard drive: 60 GB
- DirectX 11
Minimum:
- OS: Windows Vista SP2 64-bit (with KB971512 Update)
- CPU: Athlon II/Phenom II 2.8 GHz, Intel Core i3/i5 2.4 GHz
- Memory: 4 GB RAM
- Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1 GB), Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 (896 MB)
- Hard drive: 60 GB
- DirectX 11
Battlefield Hardline's open beta will run from Feb. 3 to Feb. 8 and will be available on Windows PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. The full version of the shooter will be available March 17 in North America and March 19 in Europe.
