Street Fighter IV Gets PC Requirements

Street Fighter is one of the most popular fighting franchises, having a large number of fans all over the world thanks to its great characters and interesting gameplay mechanics. With the most recent iteration, Street Fighter IV, the series has gained critical acclaim and has once more one of the most played fighting games in recent times.

Now, as part of its pledge with the PC Gaming Alliance, Capcom revealed a few weeks ago just which of its major blockbusters would appear on the PC and when that would happen. Street Fighter IV will also appear on this platform at the beginning of summer, bringing, alongside its retail package, a lot of interesting additions.

But, as always, PC gamers need to worry about their own configuration and whether it is up to the task of running Capcom's fighting game. Luckily, the Japanese company has just unveiled the minimum and recommended PC specifications that need to be met in order to have a great Street Fighter experience.
