EA's DICE has revealed the minimum and recommended system requirements for the next entry in the Battlefield series. Although it utilizes the most optimized version of the Frostbite game engine to date, you'll still need a reasonably stout machine to play Battlefield 1 as the developers intended.

The recommended hardware, naturally, will need to be a bit more powerful:

In a blog post accompanying the specs reveal, the game's lead world designer, Daniel Berlin, outlined some of the adjustments and changes being made based on feedback from beta participants. Of note is a change to the Conquest game mode ticket system, balancing of various weapons and vehicles, multiple tweaks to the Rush game mode and more tools to deal with vehicles earlier.
