EA Sports FC 25 system requirements

While playing football games on PC has never been the most demanding task, I expected more from the EA Sports FC 25 system requirements than for them to be a carbon copy of last year’s listing. Well, that’s not entirely true, the requirements are listed in reverse order and little details such as CPU clock speeds have been removed, so if anything, less effort has gone into preparing this year’s requirements.

The EA Sports FC 25 release date is here for Ultimate Edition owners, and while the system requirements aren’t typically considered all that exciting, they’re quite noteworthy this year. It’s the sheer lack of effort that has seemingly gone into the listing that could cause concerns for anyone planning to play on PC, even if the yearly football franchise hasn’t implemented any huge graphical or technical changes this year.

Here are the EA Sports FC 25 system requirements:

Having played EA Sports FC 24 on PC, I can quite confidently say that the game doesn’t need the very best graphics card to get the best out of it, but at the same time, seeing an Nvidia GeForce GTX graphics card listed in the recommended specs seems very strange. The FC 25 minimum requirements were always going to be low, but some uplift from the previous installment was expected.

To play EA Sports FC 25 at a competitive level on PC, you’re going to want smooth, stutter-free gameplay, and the best way to ensure this is by setting the bar at a similar level to other modern video games. I expected to see the FC 25 recommended specs raised to an RTX 2060 at least here, but instead, it only needs a lowly GTX 1660.

I can’t help but feel that the listed specs would only deliver a solid 60fps at a resolution lower than 1080p, and could even require AMD FSR in order to do so. Since the PC version of EA Sports FC was matched up with the console version in terms of tech specs and features, it was expected that the system requirements would become much more demanding, but this has yet to materialize.

In fact, you won’t even need an SSD despite the chunky FC 25 download size on PC, and load times could very well be punishing without one. It might be that the EA Sports FC audience on PC isn’t big enough for EA to care, or perhaps the real specs are still hidden away and this is a mistake.
