The good news just won’t stop for Battlefield 6 as EA seems to be doing everything right for its launch. Yesterday, we covered an alleged performance report showing impressive numbers for a modern AAA title, which coincided with the hardware requirements reveal earlier this week. Now, we’re finding out that Battlefield 6 will have fragmented downloads — meaning, you can download only the parts of the game that you want instead of installing the entire thing at once. A liberating sigh of relief for storage drives.
Talking to PC Gamer, an EA representative confirmed that the base install size of the game is 55 GB and that includes the core components. From there, the player can choose to download the campaign and multiplayer on top, which will drive that install size up to 80 GB. This discrepancy was already visible on the game’s Steam page, where two install sizes are listed; therefore, PC Gamer reached out to EA for a confirmation.
