With Battlefield 1's October 24th release date just around the corner, DICE and EA have finally decided to release the PC system requirements. Given how much of a graphical powerhouse Battlefield 4 was, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that Battlefield 1 requires a similarly beefy rig.

How beefy? Beefy enough that even the minimum system requirements ask for an Intel Core i5 6600K CPU. It might not be in the upper reaches of processing power these days, but its still a damn solid CPU, so this should give you a general idea of how taxing Battlefield 1 is going to be on your system. This little diversion aside, here are the full system requirements:
