If you’re a Windows 10 owner, you will be able to download Halo 5: Forge next week. The game is a small slice of the original Halo 5: Guardians experience on Xbox One, and it allows you to create your own custom multiplayer maps and matches. It also grants you the ability to have competitive, 16-player matches. Prior to its release, 343 Industries released the system requirements for the game.
| Halo 5: ForgeSystem Requirements | Minimum | Recommended (1080p at 60 fps) | Ultra (4K at 60 fps) |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i5 (2.3 GHz) or AMD equivalent | Intel Core i5-3570K (3.4 GHz, Ivy Bridge) or AMD equivalent | Intel Core i7-4770K (3.5 GHz, Haswell) or AMD equivalent |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti | Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 | Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti |
| RAM | 8 GB | 12 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 40 GB | 40 GB | 40 GB |
| OS | Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (Version 1607 or later) | Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (Version 1607 or later) | Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (Version 1607 or later) |
| DirectX Version | Version 12 | Version 12 | Version 12 |
It’s very odd that the spec sheet didn’t include specifics on AMD-based CPUs and GPUs. The PC version also supports 4K, as evidence by the “Ultra” column, but you will have to put down a sizable investment in order to play the game at the high resolution.
The fact that the full Halo 5: Guardians title isn’t coming to PC sucks. Here is hoping for Hale 6 on the PC!
