Prepare your PC
The beta period for Star Wars: Battlefront is about ready to get underway. In just two days, Electronic Arts will launch the title in beta form, and in anticipation of that, the publisher revealed what the game's minimum and recommended system requirements are.
Here's a look at the bare minimum you'll need to play Battlefront:

- Processor (Intel): Intel i3 6300T or equivalent
- Memory: 8GB RAM
- Hard Drive: At least 40 GB of free space

- Graphics card (ATI): AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB
- DirectX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent
- Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection
For a smoother game play experience and/or for enough headroom to crank up some of the visual quality settings, here's what EA recommends:
- OS: 64-bit Windows 10 or later
- Processor (Intel): Intel i5 6600 or equivalent

The beta will include three playable modes spread across three planets. They include Walker Assault on Hoth, Drop Zone on Sullust, and Survival Mission on Tatooine.
DICE is capping level progression to level five. Once you reach the level cap, you'll no longer to able to reach higher levels, however you'll still be able to unlock items. Unfortunately, any stats you build up during the beta period will not be transferred to the final game.
Battlefront will exit beta and release in final form on November 17, 2015.
