2K has rolled out the PC system requirements for Civilization VI, and they’re not going to stand in the way of your world domination.

If the main PC game on your radar is Civilization VI, we now know just how much PC you’re going to need to take over the world. 2K released the PC system requirements today, and they don’t look that onerous at all. If you have an i3 running at 2.5 Ghz and either a NVIDIA GTX 450 or AMD 5570, then you can play the game.

Here are the specs:

Minimum Specs

  • OS: Windows 7 64bit / 8.1 64bit / 10 64bit
  • PROCESSOR: Intel Core i3 2.5 Ghz or AMD Phenom II 2.6 Ghz or greater
  • MEMORY: 4 GB RAM
  • HDD: 12 GB or more
  • VIDEO CARD: 1 GB DirectX 11 Video Card (AMD 5570 or nVidia 450)

Recommended Specs

  • OS: Windows 7 64bit / 8.1 64bit / 10 64bit
  • PROCESSOR: Fourth generation Intel Core i5 2.5 Ghz or AMD FX8350 4.0 Ghz or greater
  • MEMORY: 8 GB RAM
  • HDD: 12 GB or more
  • VIDEO CARD: 2 GB DirectX 11 Video Card (AMD 7970 or nVidia 770 or greater)

As you can see, you probably won’t need to upgrade much for Civ VI. If you do need to upgrade, you’ll want to get it done before Civilization VI launches on October 21.
