Electronic Arts has revealed – via Origin store – the system requirements for two of their most anticipated titles, Dead Space 3 and Need For Speed: Most Wanted. This comes as no surprise since both of these games were showcased, in this year’s E3, on the PC. Naturally, Need For Speed Most Wanted is powered by the Frostbite 2.0 engine and won’t support Windows XP. Ironically, it appears that Dead Space 3 will have lower requirements than those of Need For Speed Most Wanted. Imagine that, a third person shooter with lower requirements from a racing game.
You can view the system requirements for both Need For Speed Most Wanted and Dead Space 3 below.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
