Minimum specs
- Due to the nature of its 8-player games, with countless simultaneous attacks, effects and animations, Hearthstone: BAttlegrounds is currently only compatible with mobile devices with more than 2GB of RAM. This means that older aircraft may not be able to run Hearthstone: Battlefields. At the end of the beta, Blizzard will optimize the experience so that players using older devices can participate in this new game mode.
After the announcement of Year of the Dragon's last expansion at BlizzCon, the developers answered many questions asked on Twitter during the weekend. We detail you the most important ones in this dedicated article.
