It's that time of the year where the lack of football is physically beginning to gnaw away at me. But, have no fear, we're just days away from football leagues around the world kicking off in earnest, while EA Sports is preparing FIFA 20 for launch on September 23rd. Expect higher-fidelity visuals, improved ball physics, refined controls, and some glorious street football. 

As ever with these games, FIFA 20 has a low bar to meet for system specs. If you're in any doubt as to whether your PC can run FIFA 2020 though then here are PC system requirements.

FIFA 20 Minimum System Requirements

• OS: Windows 7 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 3.1 GHz or AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz
• RAM: 8 GB System Memory
• GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory
• GPU: GeForce GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7850
• DX: DirectX 11
• HDD: 50GB Available Hard Drive Space

FIFA 20 Recommended System Requirements

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
• CPU: Intel Core i5-3550 3.3GHz or AMD FX-8150 3.6 GHz
• RAM: 8 GB System Memory
• GPU RAM: 2 GB Video Memory
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 or AMD Radeon R9 270X
• DX: DirectX 12
• HDD: 50GB Available Hard Drive Space

As with every FIFA for the past four or five years, FIFA 20 will be running on the Frostbite 3 game engine. A matter of evolution rather than revolution, FIFA 20 has ever-so-slightly higher system requirements than FIFA 19, although there's really not much in it. You can rest assured that if you could achieve playable frame rates in FIFA 19, you can expect much the same from FIFA 20.

FIFA 20 requires a Radeon R9 270X or GeForce GTX 670 graphics card with a Core i5-3550 3.3GHz or FX-8150 processor to reach the recommended specs, achieving high graphics setting on 1080p. The suggested GPUs are exactly the same as FIFA 2019, while the recommended CPUs have been upped very slightly.

The RAM requirements are at least 8 GB memory across the board, whether you're targeting minimum or recommended. We reckon you can probably get away with 4-6 GB though.

All told, FIFA 20 will need hardware that is a 7-year-old PC or newer to run recommended, so just about everyone should be able to play this without a hitch.
