Announcement by EA of Star Wars: Squadrons comes with a set of minimum and recommended specifications for PC players. Since the game supports VR, EA has included a list of recommended specs for playing in VR and for playing in a more traditional way.
Everything listed below should be easily doable for most people, and even in VR mode the game feels surprisingly light to run. I find it hard to imagine that a lot of people out there coughed money for a VR headset that performed less than a GTX 1070 and an i7-7700.
It makes me wonder how much of a disparity there will be in the appearance of the game between the recommended settings and the maximum of everything, however.
You can find the full minimum and recommended specs below, so you can decide for yourself whether you can fight the Empire or crush the Rebels.
