The Coalition and Splash Damage are collaborating to tell a new story within the beloved Gears of War universe. Gears Tactics is a turn-based strategy game and a prequel to the main franchise. Starring Gabe Diaz, the father of Gears 5 protagonist Kait Diaz, you will control his squad as you hunt down Locust leader Ukkon. With its release coming in the next couple of weeks, you must be wondering, if your PC rig will be able to run it. Here are the Gears Tactics PC requirements.

Gears Tactics PC Requirements: Minimum specs

If you're like me, you can't afford to pay top dollar for a decent PC setup. Maybe you do have a gaming PC but you haven't updated your graphics card or processor in months. Whatever your situation may be, not everyone will have the rig to play Gears Tactics at the recommended requirements.

If you have owned a PC the past few years, the minimum Gears Tactics PC requirements shouldn't be too much of a hassle to achieve. You will need the 64-bit version of Windows 10 to run it. Additionally, an Inteli3 Skylake/AMD FX-6000 processor, 8 GB RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti/AMD Radeon R7 260X will be needed to play Gears Tactics at low settings.

Across both minimum and recommended specifications, you will need version 12 of DirectX installed, a broadband internet connection, 45 GB of storage, and a DirectX compatible sound card. Here are the full minimum Gears Tactics PC requirements:

  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel i3 Skylake | AMD FX-6000
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon R7 260X | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Storage: 45 GB available space
  • Sound Card: DirectX compatible

Maybe you live and breathe PC gaming and have a rig capable of playing the most graphically demanding games on the market. If you do, you should be able to run Gears Tactics on PC rather smoothly.

The big takeaways from the recommended Gears Tactics PC requirements are the required processor and graphics card. Unlike the minimum specifications, in order to play The Coalition and Splash Damage's tactics game at the recommended specifications, you will need an Intel i5 Coffee Lake/AMD Ryzen 3 processor and an AMD Radeon RX 570/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 graphics card. Everything else is identical the to minimum requirements listed above.

Here is the full list for the recommended specifications:

  • OS: Windows 10 64-bit
  • Processor: Intel i5 Coffee Lake | AMD Ryzen 3
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 570 | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
  • Direct X: Version 12
  • Network: Broadband Internet connection
  • Storage: 45 GB available space
  • Sound Card: DirectX compatible

Gears Tactics will launch for PC on April 28, 2020. You can pre-order the game now on Steam and the Microsoft Store for $59.99. However, if you are an Xbox Game Pass member for PC, you will be able to play the strategy game on day one.
