Battlefield 6 File Size Shock: Beta Leaked at Just 30GB, But Full Game Looms Large
Relief and skepticism ripple through the Battlefield community as new leaks suggest the upcoming shooter’s beta version weighs only 30GB – a fraction of Call of Duty’s 300GB+ footprint. However, insiders caution the full game could still surpass 100GB when it launches with its campaign, multiplayer, and rumored battle royale mode.
The Storage Surprise
According to trusted source Battlefield Intel, early game files indicate a lean 30GB install for the beta. This defies expectations given the game’s photorealistic visuals and environmental destruction. For comparison, Modern Warfare III alone occupies over 200GB. Yet the same leak clarifies: “This 30GB is only for the beta. The full game could be over 100GB.”
A Modular Future?
The leak sparks speculation about install flexibility. Like Call of Duty, Battlefield 6 might let players:
- Install only desired modes (e.g., campaign-only)
- Streamline storage via optional texture packs
- Manage space as post-launch content expands
This approach could ease pressure on SSD-strapped console and PC players while accommodating the game’s ambitious scale.
PC Specs: Accessibility Focus
Leaked recommended requirements suggest broader accessibility:
- GPU: RTX 3060 Ti / AMD equivalent
- RAM: 16GB
- Storage: SSD (size TBD)
High-end rigs will unlock max settings, but mid-range setups appear viable – a strategic shift for the franchise.

- Battlefield 2042 launched at 50GB but ballooned past 100GB
- The battle royale mode (Lyndon Beach) alone could add 30GB+
