EA shares Anthem Official System Requirements for PC

Modest requirements for a massive game

Electronic Arts’ massively hyped up GaaS game Anthem is very nearing its launch date. On February 22, PC, PS4 and Xbox One users will be able to experience what is likely to become a new hallmark title by EA, set to receive extensive post-launch support for many years to come.

However, an exclusive VIP Demo is going to be available for everyone who pre-orders Anthem or is subscribing to one of Electronic Arts’ gaming programs, with Origin Access on PC and EA Access on the Xbox One. This VIP Demo is happening this month, between January 25-27. But if you don’t want to shell out just to test the game, an Open Demo is also planned for February 1-3. As such, today EA released the full system requirements for Anthem on PC.

Anthem is widely accepted as EA’s answer to Destiny, a similar online shooter experience that is built from the ground up to keep its players engaged for years. In the meantime, check out 15 minutes of brand-new gameplay footage courtesy of IGN here.
