There may be a lot of skepticism about how Anthem will turn out when it releases next month—and with good reason, since it’s a game made by BioWare that is doing none of the things BioWare is famous for being exceptionally great at—but I think we can all agree that it looks extremely good. Putting the technical chops of the Frostbite Engine to good use, and paired with BioWare’s extremely strong sense of art and aesthetic, we have gotten a game that looks beautiful to behold.
And it will be the best looking on PC, obviously. If you are playing on PC, and want to know how to get the most out of it, there’s good news and bad news here. The good news—thanks to EA, we have the minimum and recommended specs for the PC version of the game. The bad news—you better have a beefy rig at home if you want to get the most out of the game.
You can check out the specs for yourself below. If you want to see what the game will look like running on a fully decked out PC, be sure to check out the new trailer for it that Nvidia debuted at CES as well. Anthem launches February 22 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
