Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is coming to PC – System Requirements Revealed

Bandai Namco has officially revealed Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown on Steam, revealing that the game will be released on February 1st, 2019, two weeks after the release of the PS4/Xbox One versions. 

The PC version of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown will be released on PC via Valve’s Steam platform for 64-bit Windows operating systems, utilising the DirectX 11 API to support Windows 7, 8/8.1 and 10. 

The VR version of Ace Combat 7 will be exclusive to the game’s PlayStation version, though it is possible that this mode will come to SteamVR in the future after a period of timed exclusivity. 

On consoles, Ace Combat 7 is designed to run with an unlocked framerate, maxing out at 60FPS, with early PS4 footage showing framerates of between 35 and 60 FPS. Optimisations leading up to launch could allow this game to run at a steady 60FPS on consoles, though for now, an unlocked framerate seems to be more probable.

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown features some low-end system requirements for a modern PC release, though this can be attributed to the game’s high framerate target on console hardware. Bandai Namco requires a system with at least a dual-core i3-7100, though Intel’s higher-end Quad-core i7-7500 is recommended. 

On the graphics side, Ace Combat 7 required a graphics card with at least 2GB of VRAM and equivalent or greater performance than a Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti, recommending Nvidia’s more powerful GTX 1060 (3GB). At this time we do not know the settings or framerate targets that these hardware configurations aim for.
