According to EA, the Battlefield 6 play test is the biggest beta in Battlefield's history in terms of players. Research firm Oppenheimer estimated that the beta reached more than 20 million people. However, a "substantial number" of those fans may have been playing Battlefield 6 with the minimum recommended specs.Battlefield 6 technical director Christian Buhl made that assertion during an interview with Eurogamer. Buhl also noted that EA and DICE planned from the beginning to ensure that players using lower-end hardware would still receive a comparable experience to those on high-end machines."Min spec is certainly one of our most important specs ... it's super important from both a commercial and business perspective," said Buhl.
