Battlefield 1

Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter from DICE set during World War I. The single-player campaign tells several war stories, while multiplayer features large-scale battles with infantry, tanks and aircraft.

Released on Oct 21, 2016 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. On Steam, the PC version shows Oct 20, 2016 due to regional dating.

Battlefield 1 was released natively for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. A version playable on PS5 or Xbox Series via backward compatibility is not a standalone release for that console generation.

In Battlefield 1, cover and buildings are destructible, the weather changes visibility and vehicles shift the balance of power. Squads must combine infantry, support and heavy machinery effectively to take control of a map.

They Shall Not Pass adds French troops, In the Name of the Tsar takes you to the Eastern Front, Turning Tides focuses on amphibious combat and Apocalypse expands the battlefields. The Revolution Edition includes the base game and the Premium Pass with the four expansions.

The PC version requires at least 8 GB RAM, a 64-bit version of Windows, a DirectX 11-capable graphics card and 50 GB of free storage. Steam lists AMD FX-6350 or Intel Core i5-6600K as minimum processors. The recommended setup calls for 16 GB of memory.

Instead of a single continuous storyline, the campaign consists of self-contained episodes with different characters and battlefields. They lead through Europe and the Middle East, among other places, and switch between ground and air missions.

Up to 64 players can compete against each other in a match. Classes, squad roles and vehicles shape teamwork. Conquest and other modes rely on controlling key areas and coordinated attacks.

In Operations mode, teams attack or defend several front sections one after another. The outcome of a battle determines where the fight continues. This creates a longer sequence of connected battles.

Tanks, aircraft, horses and ships expand infantry combat. Especially large vehicles such as airships, armored trains or dreadnoughts can change the course of a battle. Their strength depends on how teams deploy and counter them.

The Standard Edition includes the base game. Battlefield 1 Revolution combines it with the Premium Pass and its four expansions. Individual add-on packs change the scope of a purchased edition, not the native platform of the base game.
