Ubisoft has now confirmed the PC system requirements for The Crew which is due for release this December.

The Crew is Ubisoft's upcoming open-world racing game that covers a large area of the United States. The game will be released from December 2nd.

Apart from the PC, The Crew will also be available for the PS4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 too. It's worth noting that The Crew can only run on 64-bit operating systems. Anything less than that, you may have to upgrade your PC.

Notes:The optimal specs will allow you to run the game in 60FPS in good conditions.

In order to check if your graphics hardware will provide you with an optimal experience in The Crew on PC, you can run the NVIDIA GPU ANALYZER. The Crew requires that a driver more recent than 14.6 is installed for Windows 7 and 8/8.1. Performance issues may arise when using inferior versions of the video driver (14.4 and below) on these operating systems. Laptop correspondent models of the above desktop specifications as well as newer CPU and Video Cards, may work but have not been exhaustively tested.
