Bioware’s Anthem releases next month and is without a doubt one of this year’s most anticipated titles. If you’re one of the people who plan on getting it on PC, you might want to take a look at the freshly released system requirements to see whether or not your rig can handle the game.

ANTHEM RECOMMENDED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Anthem’s system requirements suggest that it will accomodate less powerful PCs, provided you’re willing to give up some of the more advanced graphical effects. It’s also worth mentioning how the game’s size, while not exactly small, doesn’t reach the higher values that other recent titles have had on launch. Xbox Wireless Controller for Windows support was also confirmed.
The title marks a departure from Bioware’s usual story-heavy RPG fare. Anthem is a sci-fi multiplayer third-person shooter with a focus on obtaining loot – a first for Bioware. Despite the title’s different focus, Bioware has repeatedly assured players that it hasn’t forgotten about story in Anthem.
If you’re looking to see the game in action, the Anthem CES 2019 trailer showcases some new, gorgeous environments, while the newest gameplay video shows off the Storm Javelin.
It’s also worth keeping in mind that anyone who’s pre-ordered the game or is subscribed to either Origin Access or EA access will be able to play the VIP Demo between Jan. 25 and Jan. 27. Anthem is set to release on Feb. 22 on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
