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.
