Hi, I have a question regarding the game’s OS support. Will this game only support windows 11 or it will also support windows 10? Because my PC cannot upgrade to windows 11 unfortunately as my PC’s specs are not meeting the required tech specs for Windows 11.
Thank you!
As Windows 10 doesn't 'retire' until 2025 I'm be amazed if the OS isn't supported for a good while yet (probably years).
That's not an official answer until the specs are released, but I'd say the chances of B.2042 requiring Windows 11 only, are close to nil.
Community ManagerWhen available, the System Requirements will be here:

Thanks.
I bet Windows 11 will be supported.
Windows 11 is more or less just the next version of Windows 10 and BF2042 will run fine on both. Windows 11 already runs current games without problems. Windows 11 may not even be released, when BF2042 launches. MS has announced that Windows 10 users will get the upgrade in 2022 (but we will probably be able to download it "manually" at launch).
Whether Windows 7/8 is supported is another matter. But if Dice allows usage of DirectX-11, then Windows 7/8 should be supported as well and even DirectX-12 can work in some games in Windows 7/8.
But there are no real reason for not upgrading Windows 7/8 to Windows 10 (imho), it's still free to upgrade and Windows 10 has become a better OS, than Windows 7/8.
Hello,
Windows 11 will be available starting October 5. Battlefield 2042 will be available Oct. 22.
Perhaps this has already happened and I didn't see it, but will Dice comment if BF2042 is compatible with Win11?
Thanks,

Check this thread for reference:
@SCADAguyYes. Of course it will be compatible. EA DICE would not screw that up.
Even if they did not design the game for it, Win11 will run Win10 programs.
See the Official System Requirements and all that (whenever EA DICE actually decides to release them…?) if you want to hear that too…
