Bandai Namco has revealed the official PC system requirements for Tekken 8 via Steam. And, prepare your SSDs and HDDs everyone as the game will require 100GB of free space.

For running this upcoming fighting game, PC gamers will need at least an Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 with 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti or an AMD Radeon R9 380X.

Bandai Namco recommends using an Intel Core i7-7700K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with 16GB. The developers have also listed the Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT as the recommended GPUs.

An interesting note is that, according to Bandai Namco, the game’s frame rate may drop when other applications are running in the background. This applies to multiple games, and not only to Tekken 8. Still, this is the first time we’ve seen this included in a game’s PC requirements.

Tekken 8 will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. And, while its first beta build suffered from shader compilation stutters, we can confirm that Bandai Namco has fixed them.

Tekken 8 will be released in January 2024, and it will not be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.

Stay tuned for more!
