Microsoft releases Crackdown 3’s PC System Requirements

Microsoft Game Studio’s Crackdown 3 is expected to release in February 2019, placing gamers int he shoes of super-powered crime-fighting agents once again in a sandbox of mayhem and destruction. 

Today, Microsoft has released the game’s PC system requirements, allowing PC gamers to judge whether or not their system has enough juice to run the company’s next major release. 

Crackdown 3 will release as an Xbox Play Anywhere title, and like all new Microsoft published games will be available at launch as part of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Subscription service, making the game accessible on both PC and Xbox for a low monthly cost.
