Battlefield 6 To Receive XeSS 2 Support On Launch Along With Optimizations For Core Ultra / Core CPUs, Thanks To EA & Intel Partnership

Battlefield 6 is going to be a major blockbluster release this October, bringing back modern warfare which the series is known to do best. In early campaign and multiplayer trailers, we have got a glimpse of the updated Frostbite engine and the level of destruction that the game will have to offer. There's also an Open BETA starting on the 7th of August (Early Access). You can also read our impressions of the game here.

Now, Intel has been selected as the PC partner for Battlefield 6 by EA. Their newest XeSS 2 technology will enable upscaling, frame-generation, and low-latency support on launch day. Plus, with the recent 1.2 SDK, XeSS 2 will be available not only on Intel's own Arc GPUs but also for GPUs from other vendors such as NVIDIA and AMD.

Intel's Core Ultra & Core CPUs will also be receiving specific optimizations. These will include scheduler optimizations, ensuring that the game processes run on the right threads, and we can also expect APO support. The specs to play the BETA are relatively good for entry-level PCs running modern hardware but we will have to try out the game ourselves on a range of hardware to see how well it performs when the final build rolls out.

Press Release: What’s New: Intel and EA announced their full PC partnership for Battlefield 6 – the latest entry in the long-running Battlefield series, launching in October 2025. The partnership includes significant collaboration between Intel and EA to optimize Battlefield 6 for Intel Core, Intel Core Ultra, and Intel Arc-powered PCs and handhelds, including support for Intel technologies such as XeSS 2.

“Battlefield 6 is an incredible showcase for what gamers can do on an Intel-powered system, and we’re honored to be working with EA to help deliver an experience worthy of the Battlefield franchise. Bringing Intel features like XeSS 2 to Battlefield 6 at launch means players are going to get the best experience when they game on an Intel-powered system.” Said Nicolas Thibieroz, Senior Director, Game Engineering, Intel. 

“Battlefield 6 represents an all-new level of ambition and dedication to the franchise and our players’ experience,” says Christian Buhl, Studio Technical Director. “Intel has been an incredible partners to work with when it comes to building the best possible experience for our Intel PC players when they experience All Out Warfare this October.”

Why it Matters: Intel and EA have been working closely to fine-tune Battlefield 6 on both Intel Core and Core Ultra processors. This includes scheduler optimizations, which ensure the game processes are running on the right threads, at the right time, to ensure a smooth player experience.

Additionally, Battlefield 6 will come equipped with Intel XeSS 2 technologies right at launch – boosting framerates and fluidity while keeping visual quality and game responsiveness. The full suite of XeSS 2 technologies – including XeSS Super Resolution (SR), XeSS Frame Generation (FG), and Xe Low Latency (LL) – run most efficiently on Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) with built-in Intel Arc 100V and 100T series GPUs, as well as Intel Arc A- and B-series GPUs.

Battlefield 6 is scheduled to launch on the EA App on October 10, 2025, and in the interim, players should check out the developer’s blog for the latest updates on the work Intel and EA are doing in the run-up to launch. Players can also participate in the Battlefield 6 open beta, which will include Intel’s XeSS 2 integration, once it goes live later this summer.
