ACE COMBAT 8 PC System Requirements
Windows Steam version. Store performance estimates, not a benchmark; exact game build not specified.
At a glance
The Windows Steam version lists a 150 GB SSD requirement, Windows 11, DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6.6 or higher, and a GPU supporting hardware ray tracing. Steam estimates upscaled 1080p at 30 fps on Low or 60 fps on Medium for the listed configurations.

Minimum and recommended specs
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 11, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-10700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X | Intel Core i7-12700K / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM | 32 GB RAM |
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX 2060, 6 GB / AMD RX 6600 XT, 8 GB | NVIDIA RTX 3070, 8 GB / AMD RX 6800, 16 GB |
| Graphics API | DirectX 12, Shader Model 6.6+ | DirectX 12, Shader Model 6.6+ |
| Storage | SSD, 150 GB available | SSD, 150 GB available |
| Store performance estimate | Upscaled 1080p, Low, 30 fps | Upscaled 1080p, Medium, 60 fps |
An SSD and a graphics card with hardware ray-tracing support are explicit requirements. Check these capabilities as well as the model name and VRAM.
The frame-rate figures are store estimates, not measurements of your computer. The store notes that performance may fall in complex scenes. “Upscaled 1080p” should not be read as native 1080p or a locked frame rate.
Why do storage figures differ?
The US official website lists 125 GB in its recommended specification; Steam lists 150 GB. The main recommended CPU, RAM and GPU fields otherwise agree. The reason for the storage difference has not been confirmed.
For a Steam installation, plan around the store’s 150 GB available-space requirement. The smaller website figure is not a guarantee that 125 GB will suffice. Neither number is a measured download size.
Check your PC in this order
- Confirm the Windows version and 64-bit system.
- Compare CPU, RAM, GPU and VRAM with the relevant column.
- Check SSD space, hardware ray tracing and DirectX 12 / Shader Model 6.6 support.
- Read the target resolution and graphics preset with the upscaling condition intact.
This Windows specification does not establish Steam Deck or Linux compatibility, nor does it guarantee performance on an individual PC.
