Electronic Arts invites players to apply for the Alpha of Star Wars: Battlefront on PC.
As the US site Polygon reports, some players are currently receiving emails inviting them to apply for the closed Alpha of Star Wars: Battlefront. This can only be done through the Origin service on PC. Players should register on this website: Here is the link to sign up for the PC Alpha of Star Wars: Battlefront.
However, even if they do, they do not secure their spot yet, but only a chance to get into the Alpha. Spots are very limited. Apparently, most will be filtered out early on. Players are already reacting frustrated and feel rejected by the mean website. Under the article by Polygon, some complain about their fate. On other sites, however, the mood is more positive, as players report that they were accepted.
The Alpha is intended for some technical tests; it will neither reflect the “real gaming experience” nor can players carry over their progress from this Alpha.
Apparently, the Alpha starts on July 2, with preload starting on July 1. Applications on the website will be accepted until June 30 at 1:59 AM our time.
Here are the minimum requirements for the Alpha of Star Wars Battlefront on PC
Here are the preliminary system requirements for the Alpha that Electronic Arts included in the email:
- CPU: Quad Core CPU e.g. Intel Core i5-2300 @ 2.8 GHz or AMD Phenom II x4 955 @ 3.2 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz
- RAM: 6 GB
- OS: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64-bit operating system required)
