Ubisoft today published the PC requirements for its upcoming open-world racing game, The Crew.

The publisher has actually broken down the specs into three categories: minimum, recommended, and optimal. You can see all three below, but one thing to note right away is that you will need a 64-bit OS to play The Crew on PC.

The Crew is also coming to Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4–but not PlayStation 3. All versions of the game launch on December 2. Xbox One and PS4 gamers can try the game ahead of release through a closed beta that begins in November.
