Apex Legends: Specs & Minimum system Requirements

Everything you'll need to run the game well on PC.

Our Apex Legends system requirements page contains the minimum and recommended hardware you'll need to run the game at 60 FPS.

Apex Legends is one of the most popular games on Twitch at the time of publishing this article, and if you're playing on PC - and you're a battle royale fan in general - then you're no doubt going to be want to get a taste of the gameplay for yourself.

Although it's set in the Titanfall universe, don't expect those iconic Titans to make an appearance. It was, apparently, too tricky a gameplay balancing act to include. What you get though is an extremely reward three-player team based battle that we think is going to prove a hit in the long-term.

If you want to play the game on PC, however, then you're going to need to make sure that your rig has what it takes to do the game justice. In this article we've outlined both the official minimum requirements needed to run the game, as well as the recommended spec so that the game experience really sparkles.

Apex Legends: Minimum System Requirements:

Don't expect too pretty an experience if you're running on an old computer, but at the very least you'll need to be packing the following power levels to run the game at a base performance:

• OS: 64-bit Windows 10
• CPU: Intel Core i3-6300 3.8GHz / AMD FX-4350 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor
• RAM: 6GB
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 / Radeon HD 7700
• GPU RAM: 1 GB
• HARD DRIVE: Minimum 30 GB of free spac 

 If you're working with a budget rig, you should run the game just fine with low to medium settings. Go High or Ultra then you may start to struggle, but overall Apex Legends is optimised well enough for those who haven't spent a fortune on their PCs to run the game without any issues.

It's worth mentioning that if you're attempting to play this game on a laptop which doesn't have dedicated graphics, you'll really struggle to even run the game properly. We'd recommend a budget rig or mid range laptop with dedicated graphics card to get up and running with Apex Legends.

Apex Legends: Recommended System Requirements

How do I find out my system specs?

Below we've outlined how to find identify what's under the hood: 

• Go to your Windows search bar and type in "dxdiag"
• This will bring up a screen which shows all the good stuff.
• There are some things you'll want to take note of: Your Operating System (32 or 64-bit), Processor (CPU) and Memory (RAM).
• To find out what graphics card you've got, click the tab entitled "Display 1" at the top left.
li style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 1.2rem; padding: 0px 0px 8px; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: baseline;">If you've got a dedicated GPU installed it will list the manufacturer (AMD or NVIDIA), followed by the chip number (GeForce GTX or AMD RX).
• You can check your display memory and VRAM here too.
• That should be all the information you need!

Valve has axed Steam’s video library

Apparently, there’s a section of Steam in which you can purchase and watch video content. Before today, despite having used Valve’s platform for much of the past ten years, I was entirely unaware of its existence. Now though, I somehow have to cope with the fact that it’s not going to be around for very much longer.



In a blog post released earlier today, Valve says that “for the past few years, we have worked on expanding Steam beyond games and software by building a video platform that supports paid and free video content.” Sadly, it would seem that no-one’s really watching, as the company says that it’s become clear that “we should focus our efforts on offering content that is […] directly related to gaming.”

With that in mind, Valve says that “we have retired the Video section of the Steam Store menu.” The ongoing aim is that game-related videos will be discoverable through the rest of the store, but “over the coming weeks a number of non-gaming videos will be retired and will no longer be available for purchase.”

That’ll include a number of comedy specials, as well as Hollywood films like Mad Max: Fury Road and Kill Bill. There’s also a number of anime series that will likely be axed. If you already own any of those, however, you’ll still be able to watch them as normal.

There are a number of making-of documentaries around a wide selection of games, and presumably those will stick around after the video tag is retired, although it’s not clear exactly where they’ll go. At time of writing, the tag is still available, even though Valve’s blog post seemed to suggest that it has already been retired, which could mean this will be a somewhat gradual rollback.
