Microsoft has shared the minimum PC specs you’ll need to play Forza Motorsport when it’s released on October 10th.While it looks like it’ll be playable across a range of PCs (in addition to Xbox Series X / S consoles), you’ll still need some high-end specs if you want to play the game on ultra settings.

Forza Motorsport can run at native resolutions up to 4K “and beyond,” as it also supports ultrawide resolutions. The game lets you leverage Nvidia’s DLSS 2 and AMD’s FSR 2.2 upscaling technologies.

To run the game, you’ll need at least an Intel Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 1600 processor, along with a GTX 1060 or RX 5500 XT graphics card and 4GB of RAM. The recommended specs push things a bit higher, suggesting at least an Intel Core i5-11600K or Ryzen 5 5600X, coupled with an RTX 2080 Ti or RX 6800 XT and 8GB of RAM.
