The Crew 2: PC System Requirements and Video Options Revealed

Ubisoft has the revealed the PC System Requirements needed to run their upcoming racer The Crew 2 which arrives on June 29th, do you have what it takes to run the game? PC Video options were also revealed.

The open world racing sequel The Crew 2 launches on June 29th (or June 26th with Gold Edition), and now Ubisoft have given us a glimpse at what hardware we'll need to run the latest title. Fortunately the game will support a wide range of hardware so it should run on older systems (perhaps not the best experience on that though) as well as more modern hardware, with a slew of PC specific video options to allow you to customise your experience to get the best possible framerate for your setup. Players can get their first glimpse of the racer in action when the Closed Beta launches on May 31st. You can signup for a chance to play it when it goes live!

Not got the latest hardware? Worry not as the game will support a reasonable range of older hardware - though you're likely not going to get the best experience if you can't meet the recommended at least. For those looking to get the best possible experience we'd suggest going with a setup that can run it at least 60 FPS. There's also a range of input methods that are supported by the game so whichever preference you have for racing you'll be able to enjoy The Crew 2 with comfort!
