@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…

@carsono311 Sure, but it may not be compatible at launch. My AV software (Bitdefender) for example doesn't work yet on Windows 11. 🙂

@infantrypeasantLaunch of the game? They will have had over two weeks to confirm compatibility for the official release…

Again, I sincerely doubt it will be a problem, based on my understanding of Windows 11.

@infantrypeasant Antivirus is one thing, most existing games already run fine (I have none, that doesn't work on the Win11 Beta, BF4/BF1/BFV, Apex Legends and several other titles as well).

The only thing that could be an issue would be anticheat, but Easy Anticheat (if they use that) already runs on Windows 11.

Windows 11 is not really that far from Windows 10, it is mostly cosmetic changes (and requiring some security settings in bios).

  @cso7777 Most AV works fine too though. 🙂 Just saying, it might not run, I'd wait with upgrading until the developers confirmed the game runs fine.
  
  Granted, it will probably work fine!
