The Star Wars: Battlefront PC system requirements have been released by EA ahead of the games beta which starts this Thursday.
The good news is that anyone with at least a gaming rig, even at the lower end should at least be able to run Battlefront to some capacity, but let’s not mistake the fact that Battlefront is going to be a demanding game. A GTX 660 or a Radeon HD 7850 graphics card is required as a minimum along with a beefy 8GB of RAM. The recommended system requirements list a GTX 970 4GB as ideal. The game will also be a 40GB install.
Here are the system requirements listed on the games page on the Origin Store:

Hopefully the demand for a high-end rig for the recommended system requirements gives hope that those with top machines will experience a visual masterclass. I guess we will find out more come Thursday, with Star Wars Battlefront set to officially release on November 13.
