Electronic Arts and Bioware have announced that a Closed Beta phase for Anthem will be launched on December 8th and revealed the recommended PC requirements for it. Anthem will be powered by Frostbite and according to the specs, Bioware recommends an Intel Core i5 3570 or an AMD FX-6350 CPU.
Bioware also recommends 8GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GTX 970 or an AMD R9 390 8GB and at least 60GB of free hard-disk space. The game will also only work on 64-bit operating systems and Bioware recommends Windows 10 (though I’m pretty sure the game will also work on Windows 7 and Windows 8).
Anthem Closed Beta Recommended Requirements
- OS: 64-bit Windows 10
- Processor: Intel Core i5 3570 or AMD FX-6350
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB, AMD R9 390 8GB
- Hard Drive: At least 60 GB of free space
Do note that these are the recommended specs for the closed beta phase, meaning that they do not represent the requirements for the final build. As such, don’t be surprised if the final recommended requirements are higher than these.
Furthermore, Bioware has revealed the game’s graphics options in its recent livestream for this beta build. PC gamers will be able to adjust the quality of Anti-Aliasing, Ambient Occlusion, Textures, Texture Filtering, Mesh, Lighting, Effects, Post-Processing, Terrain and Vegetation.
Anthem is currently scheduled for a February 22nd release!

You know, I really hate to see what is happening to Bioware here. In some ways, I hope this game does O.K., at least enough for the studio to survive, but in others, I feel like the soul of the studio has already been dissolved by EA, who just cannot keep their mitts off of anything good.
I’m so torn over this game.
Why would you care if BW survives? At least, in terms of gaming. I don’t like seeing anyone lose their job in this garbage industry where there is no job security whatsoever either, however, BW has not been BW for YEARS now.
Every person who made BW magical, is long gone. This is just a group of people using the BW name at this point.
It’s like taking your favourite band, removing everyone, throwing in 4 or 5 other people, using the same name, and saying “Ya! So glad (insert name here) is still around! They’re still awesome!”
No, no they are not.
You make some valid points. You’re probably right that the original souls of the studio is gone. However, there are still signs of talent left in the company. I would like to think that, unshackled a bit, they could still manage to find their own identity and produce something that is worth playing.
But, maybe I’m just being hopeful. Once EA get their paws deep, there is not often much reason for such hopefulness.
Battlefield V did turn out better than I expected though.
>However, there are still signs of talent left in the company.
Where?
Even if we don’t like the style of the game or EAs hi-jinks, you can’t deny the quality of the visuals, animation, voice acting, etc.
Be reasonable.
While on the subject of EA it’s proving to be great fun reading about the commercial debacle that is Battlefield V. Retail sales numbers are a catastrophe no matter how hard EA’s industry contacts and SJWs in the shill media try to damage control things. ?
i started a campaign and encouraged everyone specially young ladies to buy battlefield 5 as many time as they can to support women’s right even if they don’t know anything about video games so your propaganda won’t work.
From what I’ve seen Battlefield V is down on sales from Battlefield 1 by about 50%. EA is ruining yet another Developer.
I’m not sure sales numbers are the whole story now that they are pushing Origin access. That’s how I played V. it just costed me 15 bucks for one month that way and I had my entire fill for it. I’m sure others saw the same opportunity. Sales may not be the only number that matters here.
That was quite possibly the most dimwitted reply I’ve ever had the misfortune to witness here. Congrats.
he’s one of those that you think he’s a bot but he’s not and he’s very delusional to a point where it’s literally unbelievable. remember when he called us spreading rumors when we said battlefield 5 censors the word “white man”? i consider myself a progressive guy but imbeciles like this moron are why democrats are so miserable in the US at the moment. i’ve seen my share of 10 years old kids hopping on conservative trend train but this is rare.
i meant the only explanation i have for him is being a 10 years old and if he’s not then well i think he might be mentally ill.
You didn’t even mention or allude to the word “women” but he just went on and pulled that one out of thin air.
It’s almost like he was programed to answer in a certain way or something. You know…like an NPC.
Precisely.
Some people just obsess with seeing numbers go up. I have a few friends that can’t enjoy anything unless numbers are going up in some way. This game is basically for them I guess.
To me, like yourself I assume, I’d rather have some actual gameplay that’s rewarding.
Processor: Intel Core i5 3570 ???????????????????
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB ?????????????
THATS MY PC WOOOOOOWEEEEEE
looks like i dont need the RTX gaytacing after all
Do note that these are the recommended specs for the closed beta phase, meaning that they do not represent the requirements for the final build. As such, don’t be surprised if the final recommended requirements are higher than these.
How can be higher ?
99.99% the game will be downgraded”optimaluzed” cuz the consoles cant run it well …..
So pls … Just dont….
Please dont what ??? can you read what is written in the article ??? many games are not a pc port from console and Anthem will be a good one with a big attention to PC version so stay tuned and don’t cry because of your old GTX 970…
g a m e r a n t . c o m / a n t h e m -pc -port/
lol same, talk about dollar value having an overclocked chip work flawlessly for 5 years. I upgraded from a GTX 680 for $200
Anthem…………. LOL
Good riddance when you are closed BioWare, or whatever the hell you are these days, wearing BioWare’s face.
I enjoy these types of games but it depends how they handle the incentive for loot grind. I like Destiny, for example, because you can take that god tier loot into PVP and gain a slight advantage. The perks on exotic weapons and armor can change your playstyle drastically in both PVP and PVE. Or I want to be high level so I can do the raid, which is really hard if you’re not high level. I don’t like Warframe, where I only hunt loot just for the sake of loot, without any pvp or difficult pinnacle activity. In Warframe you get new weapons and better mods just to play the same missions again.
No I haven’t played Warriors games. I don’t think it looks cool even in trailers so I gave it a hard pass. Glad to know I’m not missing out on anything.
But at least we can agree that those are niche games. These are mainstream games loved by millions of people. The craze for something like Destiny 2, Division, Anthem, Warframe is insane. I seriously wonder sometimes if these people have played other games. I honest to God think that real life work / study is better than this sh*t once the initial “wo nice graphics” novely wears off.
I completely agree. I think the amazing graphics and loot grind distracts the mainstream people. They don’t notice the points I mentioned above.
I’ve akin games this gen to be like 1080/30fps compared to 1440/60+fps.
You can’t go back boring fetch quest or lackluster writing after playing The Witcher 3.
You can’t go back to brain dead AI after Crysis (even Halo.. before 343).
You can’t go back to basic physics after playing Far Cry 2. I could go on.
It’s a utter shame how the industry moved towards better graphics/cinematics rather than gameplay.
Hence why I’m bored out of my mind with God Of War 4. I can’t believe what they did to the game and how people seem to love that type of gameplay. The combat is dumbed down, no flare and is basically a dark souls game they turned it into. I’m sitting here playing this and wondering what the hell is this I’m playing. This is not a God Of War game.
I enjoyed the game for what it was (disclaimer I got it for $20 so maybe I’m not as critical). I wouldn’t say the combat was “dumbed down” more so just copied Dark Souls with some changes.
Personally I don’t think I could play another GOW that’s the same as the others (5+ games I think). GOW main aspects was the brutality, gore and action. This game kept most of that to a degree but had much better writing and lore.
Although I HATED the rpg elements and collectibles (I will forever hate the collect 100+ thing mentality in gaming). Either you go full rpg mode or don’t include it at all.
“At least BL provides some humor”
hi anthony burch
Lol I played BL when I was…. 15 I think (had 360 wasn’t into PC gaming like that at the time). So the game most definitely provided some humor for my friends and I.
To my eyes, this is acctually the minimum recommended spec…
I told tou to read what is written in the article ! nothing else ! and if you are happy with your old gtx 970 then congratulations, Nvidia is very clecer to find stupid people byuing 3.5 + 0.5 graphic card moreover the the recommended pc specs of the final version of Anthem will be much higher (it is written in the article) other thing i am not defendind EA or other companies but teeling stupid people to read before posting bullshit.
How about have some common sence eh ?
How will this work in the game.?
They turn off some graphics setting on purpuse ?
Or cap the frame rate ?
You said
“Anthem will be a good one with a big attention to PC version”
Isnt that meas that the will run good on buget machines cuz its well optimalized?
Cuz keep in mind . Its also a console game And we know for a fact that game making companies dont want the pc version look better than the console …… Sooooooo
It a xbox one can run It you dont need more that a 3570k and 970 for 1080p 60fps . ….
And yeah you told me nothing new about the 3.5gb vram… I was dissapointed in nvidia and thats why i am waiting for the new AMD cards cuz FUQ RTX and gaytracing ….
I told you to not do it…..
