Star Wars Squadrons - New PC Hardware Requirements

Exactly two weeks ago we wrote about the hardware requirements of Star Wars: Squadrons, a starfighter simulator from the universe of Star Wars, developed by Motive and published by EA, referring to such iconic classics as X-Wing or TIE Fighter. As it turns out, however, they were not final, as a correction appeared on the official American website of the game. It concerns mainly the processors needed for smooth gameplay.

Star Wars: Squadrons' hardware requirements have been slightly revised.

According to the original hardware requirements Star Wars: Squadrons needed at least an Intel i5-7600 CPU. This was changed to i5-6600k. Furthermore, according to the new data, a Ryzen 7 2700X (for AMD processors) will be required for the upcoming game's VR and non-VR modes.

Changes in requirements also affected disk space. According to the revision, Star Wars: Squadrons will need 40 GB of space, which is 10 GB more than originally assumed.

Star Wars: Squadrons will launch in early October this year.
