2K Games has announced the system specs for developer Firaxis' reboot of the classic strategy game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
Fortunately, the recommended requirements are fairly light, so players with low-end machines should be able to handle the game, provided their rig is a dual-core system.
The biggest stumbling block - at least for 24% of PC users - is that Windows XP will not be supported.
Minimum Requirements:
* OS: Windows Vista
* Software: Steam Client
* Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core
* Memory: 2 GB RAM
* Hard Drive: 20 GB free
* Video Memory: 256 MB
* Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT/ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT or greater
* Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
Recommended Requirements:
* OS: Windows 7
* Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or Athlon X2 2.7 GHz)
* Memory: 4 GB RAM
* Hard Drive: 20 GB free
* Video Memory: 512+ MB
* Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9000 series/ATI Radeon HD 3000 series or greater
* Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
XCOM: Enemy Unknown is due to be released on the 9th October 2012 on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
