FIFA 13 PC system requirements revealed, won’t support Windows 8

EA has published the minimum and recommended PC system requirements for FIFA 13, and announced that the game will not support Windows 8 as the upcoming operating system will release after the game.

FIFA games have traditionally received step-motherly treatment, built on an inferior engine than the one that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions employed. That has changed over the last couple of years, and while there isn’t complete parity between the PC and home console versions yet, it’s now close enough.
