Battlefield Hardline PC requirements revealed

As you're probably aware by now, Battlefield Hardline's open beta begins today, allowing users on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation platforms a sneak peek of the highly anticipated first-person shooter while also providing valuable feedback for the developers.

For Xbox or PlayStation, you should be good to go; however, if you're playing on PC, you'll want to first look over the game's minimum and recommended system requirements. They're a bit more demanding than Battlefield 4's specs: requiring a 64-bit version of Windows and double the hard drive space. The minimum specs also says at least 4GB of RAM, but Visceral warns that machines running with that or less "may experience issues in the Battlefield Hardline open beta, as gameplay performance for lower-end PCs is still being optimized."
