Need for Speed: Most Wanted PC requirements are here

If you are planning to buy Need for Speed: Most Wanted on the PC, then you will be pleased to know that the requirements to run it aren’t that high. Any enthusiastic gamer who plays on the PC regularly can run this game on the recommended specs, but that depends I guess.

The game will be released in October for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. It is being developed by Criterion Games of Burnout Paradise fame. Need for Speed: Most wanted was originally developed by EA Black Box studios and the reason why this isn’t called Most Wanted 2 is because Criterion doesn’t do sequels to other studio’s games.
