The development team at EA Sports has already offered a lot of details about FIFA 16 and now gamers who plan to get the football simulation on the PC can also take a look at the system requirements and plan any updates that they might need in order to get the title to run well.

The official announcement explains that at a minimum gamers will need to have a system that features: Windows 7 or better, running on 64 bits, with an Intel Core i3-2100 3.1 GHz processor or better, 4 GB of RAM, 15 GB of hard drive space, and an ATI Radeon HD 5770 or Nvidia GTX 650 graphics card.

The recommended system requirements for FIFA 16 include: Window 8 running at 64 bits, an Intel i5-2550K at 3.4 GHz processor or better, 8 GB of RAM, 15 GB of hard drive space, and an ATI Radeon HD 6870 or Nvidia GTX 460 or better graphics card.

Gamers will also have to use DirectX 11 in order to run the new football simulation experience.

EA Sports has suggested that the PC version of FIFA 16 will offer more graphics setting and options than versions to be offered on home consoles, but it has not unveiled too many details about differences between platforms.

Messi is at the center of the new title

FIFA 16 will be having Lionel Messi, widely seen as the best footballer in the world, on the official cover, joined by local players in some markets.

The Barcelona leader has also inspired the development team at EA Sports to introduce a new no-touch dribbling system, which allows gamers to create space for themselves and to find ways to move past defenders.

The football simulation will also offer more defensive options, a range of tweaks for the passing system and more ways for attackers to place their shots on goal.

The development team has not yet talked about the Ultimate Team tweaks for the new title, but gamers can look forward to more accessibility for the mode.

FIFA 16 will be out on September 24, and gamers can place a pre-order so that they can get access to some more coins to spend in the Ultimate Team mode however they see fit.
