Need for Speed Heat, a new installment in the arcade racing game franchise, is due to launch on November 8th for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

　　The developers at Ghost Games have now shared the official system requirements for the PC version of the game. They're fairly similar to those of Need for Speed Payback, the previous entry, though CPU and RAM requirements are now higher.

　　Do note that the recommended specs here are geared towards a 1080P@60FPS experience, as often is the case. If you're aiming for higher resolution and frame rates, your rig will have to be accordingly more powerful than that.
