The Star Wars: Squadrons system requirements for the game have been changed a bit, increasing the CPU recommended on the AMD side, and asking for more storage free spacein our system.
On the minimum requirements side, an Intel Core i5-7600 was originally the plan, and now EA is asking for at least an Intel Core i5 6600K , which is pretty much the same CPU. On the AMD side, the Ryzen 3 1300X is still being required as a minimum. The big change comes in AMD's recommended processor, as an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is now recommended, unlike the previously recommended AMD Ryzen 3 3200G. On the Intel side, at least an i7-7700K is still recommended.
The other big change is that the game will now require 40GB of free storage space instead of just 30, so we may have to make a little more space if we have our disk quite full. Fortunately, the RAM and GPU requirements remain intact . You can see the complete and updated requirements below:
