Electronic Arts has released revised PC system requirements for its upcoming multiplayer space-combat game, Star Wars Squadrons. This move is not entirely unusual, as games continue in testing and development before the official release. The revised specs are primarily focused around changes for CPU and storage options. No changes as of yet have been made to the recommended GPU side of things. There are both VR and non-VR specifications. It should be noted that the Recommended (non-VR) / Minimum (VR) and Recommended (VR) specs are largely the same.
