Here’s what you need to run Star Wars: Squadrons on PC (VR Specs Included)
Star Wars: Squadrons will feature both a single-player campaign and multiplayer modes, placing gamers in the aftermath of Star Wars: Episode VI, where the New Republic is on the rise and the Empire is losing its grip on the galaxy. Â
Â
PC gamers will be happy to know that this game features VR support, a feature which is exclusive to the platform. That said, EA could add VR support to this game with a PS5-only update, though this has not been confirmed.Â
On Origin, this game has been given a £34.99 price tag, making this release much cheaper than most of EA’s AAA library. Given this fact, gamers shouldn’t expect this game to be as wide in scope as Star Wars: Battlefront II. Star Wars: Squadrons will release on October 2nd.Â
Â
On PC, Star Wars: Squadrons will have separate minimum and recommended system requirements for VR and non-VR systems. VR users will need to have stronger PCs than non-VR players, which makes sense given the high framerate requirements of VR headsets.Â
For non-VR PCs, AMD’s RX 480 and Nvidia’s GTX 1060 graphics cards are recommended. These GPUs aren’t high-end by today’s standards, which means that most PC gamers will be able to enjoy this game with smooth framerates.Â
