There are some games that just make sense on PC, and Battlefield 6 is one of them. This iconic series began on PC nearly 25 years ago, and now, the team at Battlefield Studios has delivered the best entry in the franchise in a long time. Everything about this game shines, but the true gem is its multiplayer experience.
It’s for this reason, and many more, that Battlefield 6 has earned the Shacknews Award for Best PC Game of 2025.
Sometimes, a good PC game is one that can run on a modest setup—a “potato” PC. Other times, it’s the opposite: rewarding players who have invested in high-end hardware. Battlefield 6 falls into the latter category. The minimum specs require an RTX 2060 or an RX 5600 XT, signaling that Battlefield Studios has a clear vision for its PC players—one that can only be fully realized with cutting-edge technology.
Another source of joy when playing Battlefield 6 on PC is the need for multiple inputs. While you can get the job done using a controller, having a full keyboard at your disposal allows for a higher level of precision and control. The game isn’t as tactical as some other war simulators out there, but it rewards players who dive deep into its systems and make full use of everything it offers.
There were many excellent PC games released in 2025, but in terms of a title that truly excels on the platform, it’s hard to look past Battlefield 6. Not only has Battlefield Studios staged an incredible comeback for the series, but they’ve also nailed all the important elements that make a great Battlefield game—including delivering a top-tier PC release.
Shacknews is thrilled to present Battlefield 6 with the award for Best PC Game of 2025.
