On this occasion, the developers released the final hardware requirements on Epic Games Store, and they proved to be quite surprising. According to them, you will need an SSD to play, because such a requirement is given even in the minimum configuration. Probably it is only a mistake on the part of the store, because the FAQ on the official website provides other information.

  2. RAM: 8 GB
  3. GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 / AMD Radeon R9 280X

Let us remind that MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries will be available only on PC.

The devs signed a temporary exclusivity agreement, so for the first year after the release, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries will be available only from Epic Games Store.

There are high hopes for the game, as it is the first installment of the series since MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries, released in 2002, which focuses on single player mode. Unfortunately, no reviews have appeared on the web yet, so we don't know if MechWarrior 5 meets the expectations of the fans.
