Evolve PC Specs Released: Hope You Have A Beefy Machine To Play Next Gen Shooter This February

The beta for Evolve is going live this Thursday for Xbox One and everyone is excited to get a chance to play. Except PC and PS4 players, but for the former, there is at least some news to wet your appetite with.

Evolve Has Already Gone Gold!

Sure, players are a little upset at the current climate, in which companies are becoming more and more ruthless with their pre-[order/purchase] incentives. It used to be you only had to pre-order a game to acquire any fancy extras, usually by slapping down a small amount of the retail price.

Now, in order to get all the extras for Evolve - new monster, characters, etc - you have to pre-purchase the entire game onto your Xbox One before Thursday. The whole kit and caboodle. That will unlock the characters and the full game when it is released on February 10.

However, it is definitely worth noting that you can cancel your pre-order before the game's release and receive a refund. But let's face it, you're lazy and you're not going to do that.

But maybe you're not lazy, maybe you took a significant time out of several days and cobbled together a "sweet rig" as I think they're called these days, a PC set to exactly your specifications. You're probably wondering what you need to effectively run this thing, you little ball of energy you. Thankfully, Turtle Rock has released the PC system requirements:

Eurogamer revealed a new screen with the robust customization options available to PC players.

Personally, I'll stick to the path of least resistance. Just buying one thing that I know will play all games perfectly fine. But to the rest of you, good hunting out there.
