Arguably the best new FPS game on Steam, BattleBit Remastered launched early access today and is already the best-selling paid game on Valve’s platform, sitting right behind CS:GO on the global top seller list. The four-person team at OkiGames has been working on BattleBit, in various forms, for seven years, and its robust new Steam game has already risen to the top with its low price, fun gameplay, and hilariously low system requirements.
After its smooth launch, BattleBit Remastered has shot to the top of the Steam best sellers list, despite its low price of $4.99. Despite its seemingly low entry cost, BattleBit is making more money than Warzone 2, Starfield, PUBG, and the Steam Deck, a device that costs $100 and can turn your desk into a console. That’s particularly impressive because BattleBit has the scale, vehicles, and destruction of a modern Battlefield game, but also encompasses the milsim qualities from Squad such as proximity chat, buildable defensive structures, bleeds that have to be bandaged, and a medic class with the exclusive ability to heal players.
I’ve been playing BattleBit for a couple of days, and its combination of fun, accessible gameplay and deeper, harder core elements is fantastic. You can just hop in and play without feeling overwhelmed, but existing familiarity with other shooters such as CS:GO, Battlefield, and so on will at least put you on even footing with others. It’s not just a more casual shooter, either – it feels harder core than most multiplayer shooters, without losing its accessibility.
Beyond that, BattleBit has launched pretty well, and the shooting is snappy and responsive. I’ve not yet run into any truly game-breaking issues, which is impressive for an early access game. The maps are also gigantic, meaning you can often break off from a fight to find a nice spot to flank from. The lo-fi look, a combination of Squad’s own Frostless and Osprey from Drunken Onion, makes its huge scale possible. Not only does a pared back, almost nostalgic look make these maps and vehicles possible, but hilariously low system requirements to boot – you can literally play BattleBit on a toaster.

You’ll need much more juice to run BattleBit at max settings, but low settings will let you run the game almost anywhere. Check out the full system requirements here.
While much of BattleBit’s success will be down to its minimum (and, honestly, hilarious) system requirements, you shouldn’t underestimate the strength of its map design, and the actual shooter at its core. Give it a shot if you haven’t already.
