ACE COMBAT 8 PC system requirements

You need Windows 11, DirectX 12, an SSD, hardware ray tracing support, and 125 GB of storage. The official minimum target is 1080p upscaled at 30 fps on Low; recommended targets 1080p upscaled at 60 fps on Medium.

Check your PC in four steps

Open Settings → System → About to compare CPU and installed RAM.
Open Task Manager → Performance → GPU to identify the graphics card and dedicated memory.
Confirm the install drive is an SSD with more than 125 GB free; leave extra headroom for updates.
Update the GPU driver and Windows before the first launch.

Both tiers require a hardware ray-tracing-capable graphics card and DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6.6 or higher. A component that is newer is not automatically faster, so compare actual GPU class and VRAM, not just model year.

What the table does not confirm

The Steam feature list confirms online co-op, PvP, cross-platform multiplayer, achievements, Steam Cloud, HDR, Denuvo Anti-Tamper, and Easy Anti-Cheat. A user tag is not proof of VR support, and the official requirements do not state Steam Deck compatibility.
