Zoom zoom! The upcoming motorbike racer MotoGP 21 is racing off to the finish lines this April. Every year these games get more realistic in terms of graphics, physics, and the various systems playing in the background. Thankfully though, they won't require a superbike equivalent of expensive hardware in order to run.

MotoGP 21 is launching on April 22nd, and the developers Milestone have revealed the official PC system requirements for us to prepare, get ready, and race to victory when it lands next month. Am I using too many racing metaphors? Maybe, but let's take a look at the MotoGP 21 PC system requirements...
