Battlefield 4 News: System Requirements for Xbox 360 Shown Before Release Date [Trailer]

Battlefield 4 promises to deliver an epic experience no matter what platform fans choose to play it on, but players may want to make certain their console can keep up with everything the title can dish out. Luckily for Battlefield 4 Fans, EA has posted the game's system requirements for the Xbox 360 on the company's official website.

EA reveals that the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 4 will come with two separate disks, and users will be required to install 2GB of data for the game regardless of which disk they choose to put in first. However, both disks have additional data that EA highly recommends users install on their hard drives so that the game will run as smoothly as possible.

The first disk, which is the multiplayer disk, will have an additional 6.6 GB of content that EA recommends users install before playing the game. The second single player disk has 5.8 GB of data that the publisher recommends users load onto the hard drive of the Xbox 360 before playing that portion of the game. All in all, with the 2GB of mandatory data that needs to be installed this totals up to over 14GB of data that users should install on their hard drive to ensure the best Battlefield 4 experience possible.

It is unclear if the other platforms for the game will require similar installations when the game is launched. The game is coming to both current and next-gen consoles, so it is possible that the game asks PlayStation 3 and PC owners to install similarly sized portions of the game to the hard drive, but that may not be the case with the more powerful PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. In addition, EA may decide to wait until the launch of those next-gen consoles before releasing system those requirements for Battlefield 4.

Battlefield 4 is one of the critical games of the tail end of 2013, as it appears on current and next-gen platforms right at the start of the holiday season. As the newest installment of one of the most popular first-person shooter franchises of the last generation of consoles, the success of Battlefield 4 during the peak shopping time of the year could be an indication of both the current and next-gen console's popularity during the initial launch window.
