The Division’s PC Specs Revealed- It’s A Pretty Demanding Game

The Division is, like all major Ubisoft games, a graphical wonder. While the accusations of graphical downgrades will continue, the fact remains that the game is a looker- enough that it should give even people with powerful rigs pause about whether or not they will be able to run it on their PCs.

Ubisoft have today revealed the official minimum and recommended specs your PC should have if it is to run the game. It seems like The Division is going to be pretty damn demanding- it’s going to hog up 40GB of your hard drive space, and don’t even think about running it unless you have a 64-bit build.
