EA has released the minimum system requirements for The Sims 4 – but will your PC be able to run it?
Well, if you’ve bought a new PC within the last few years you’ll probably be all right, with the minimum requirements appearing to be relatively low.
You’ll only need a 1.8GHz dual core processor and 2GB RAM to get it up ans running, along with 9GB HDD space and a DirectX 9 graphics card.
But remember, these are only the minimum required specs. To get The Sims 4 looking at its best you’ll need to wait until EA releases the recommended specs, and we’re not quite sure when that might be.

- MEMORY: At least 2 GB RAM
