Armored Core VI system requirements: The necessary PC specs revealed
In This Article
Following the colossal success ofElden Ring, FromSoftware is returning to its roots by launching a new Armored Core entry.
The series is known for its explosive mecha-based combat, and has been dormant for 10 years, with the last game in the series hitting stores back 2013.
Armored Core fans won’t need to wait much longer, with Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon confirmed for August 2023.
But is your PC up to scratch in order to run Armored Core VI at an optimal performance? We’ve created this guide to help you answer that question, so keep on reading for a thorough breakdown.
Minimum Specs
FromSoftware has officially revealed the Armored Core VI system requirements, and they look very reasonable, allowing the vast majority of gaming PCs to run the mecha shooter.
The recommended Intel processor launch as far back as 2017, making it six years old. The suggestedAMD Ryzen 3 3300Xis far more modern with a release year of 2020, but you can find it in various online retailers for less than £100/$100.
It’s a similar situation when it comes to the GPU, with the recommendedNvidia GTX 960launching in 2015 and theAMD Radeon RX 480in 2016. According to the Steam hardware survey, the vast majority of PC gamers already have more powerful specs, so this shouldn’t be a problem.
The only PC spec that may prove problematic is the memory, with FromSoftware recommending 12GB of RAM. Many laptops come with 8GB of RAM instead, which doesn’t quite meet the requirement. It’s easy enough to upgrade your RAM for a desktop PC though.
Armored Core VI will take up quite a bit of storage space too, coming in at a whopping 65GB. It’s not quite as much space as the 90GB swallowed up byDiablo VI, but it will still take up a considerable amount of your space if you’re only using a 512GB drive.
FromSoftware is yet to release any information for the recommended system requirements, so we don’t know what kind of specs you’ll need for an optimal Full HD, Quad HD or 4K performance. But as soon as we hear more on that front, we’ll make sure to update this article with the relevant information.
