Star Wars squadrons system requirements

Hi there

i am psyched for Star Wars squadrons (like most of the Star Wars fans)

there just one thing that I am worried about, that is whether it will run on my pc(laptop) or not?

I am currently using intel i5 7300hq which is a bit slower than i5 6600k (which is the minimum requirement).

all the other requirements such as gpu,ram etc are fulfilled.

there is one more thing, I am playing battlefront 2 at medium settings with 40-42 FPS on the same laptop.

battlefront 2 has almost the same requirements as squadrons.

so can Star Wars squadrons run smoothly on my laptop & if it can how much fps should I expect?

if anyone can answer my question, I would be thankful to them.

    @Nick_Skywalker19 Will be hard to tell before the game is out but we target that the game runs on the minimum requirement.

    Not uncommon for games to run below minimum requirement, but not guaranteed that it will be good experience.

    Hey,

    I have a desktop and one of the things I did to improve performance was move over to an SSD from a HDD which made a massive difference. However as you are on laptop you should already have this benefit. Only other thing I can recommended is max out your ram.

    However I agree, we won't really know until the game is released. Perhaps you can update after launch and let us know. I hope it works smoothly for you.

    @Merc_Security hi there
    thanks for your suggestion. i have one more thing to ask "how much minimum ram should i have for playing the game smoothly".
    i recently added an 8gb ram stick in my laptop which gives me a total of 16gb ram. should i upgrade it more or will it be enough?

    Hi @Nick_Skywalker19

    8gb memory should be the standard nowadays and is plenty for most games, so 16gb is more than enough for what you need.

    GPU and CPU are the key components that improve the performance more than anything else.
