FromSoftware’s latest mega mech title, Armored Core 6, is a monster of a game with high levels of technical polish. If you’re planning to play on PC, then let’s run through the system requirements needed to run the game including the minimum and recommended specs needed for AC6.

Armored Core 6 is a return for a fan-favorite franchise that has been missing since 2013. The series is often regarded as the ultimate mecha franchise that took the genre to a whole new level. Not only that, but it also put FromSoftware on the map, before their attention turned to the Soulsborne series.

The hype surrounding Armored Core 6 was massive, because the game, and the series as a whole, has the distinction of FromSoftware attached to it. PC players will definitely want to know what system requirements are needed for the game before they dive into all the mech battles.

So without further ado, here are all the minimum and recommended PC specs for Armored Core 6.
