Battlefield is back and with its last update, DICE will have delivered four superb games in three short years - an amazing accomplishment.

Even months away from release, Battlefield 1 feels remarkably polished - even in its current state.
In order to best experience the game, EA provided a room full of high-end PCs featuring the latest generation Intel i7 processors paired with brand new Nvidia GTX 1080 graphics cards and G-Sync monitors. And here's an interesting wrinkle - the game's settings UI, which we're told is unfinished, seems to suggest that Battlefield 1 has full DirectX 12 support, unless we've misinterpreted "ID_M_OPTIONS_DX12ENABLED = ON". There's an on/off toggle though, so those still on Windows 7/8 should still be fine. We're still awaiting confirmation of this, but we do know that Star Wars Battlefront on Xbox One used the API, and the developer has confirmed support within the engine.
