Square Enix has revealed the PC requirements for Marvel’s Avengers, and they’re rather interesting. The minimum specs are pretty forgiving, only requiring a Core i3 processor and a NVIDIA GTX 950 or AMD 270 GPU, but on the upper end you’ll need to have a GTX 1060 6GB or Radeon RX 480 8GB and…a solid-state drive. Yes, the era of needing an SSD to run PC games at their best is upon us.
Here are your Marvel’s Avengers PC requirements:
