Crucible might just have something for everyone, being a unique mix of a hero shooter, MOBA, and battle royale game all in one. Since it’s also free-to-play, the barrier to entry is pretty low. Provided that you meet the Crucible minimum specs, that is. Hopefully, your PC will even surpass them to hit the Crucible recommended requirements and run the game at its best.
What are the Crucible minimum specs and recommended system requirements?
Amazon Games’ Crucible looks to be a well-optimized release, with recommended specs for the new title only requiring a mid-level PC to run at 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second (FPS) on high settings. Meanwhile, the low minimum specs will accommodate play at 720p resolution on low graphics settings. Although the framerate will likely be more variable, the game should still be very playable on older systems for all but the most serious of players.

Competitive PvP games rely on their online communities to survive and thrive, so generally aren’t all that technically demanding in order to welcome as many players as possible into the fold. Crucible follows this trend, which is a smart move. The low requirements and lower price point (it’s a free download) make it highly accessible.
If your PC can run similar recent free-to-play games, like Call of Duty: Warzone, then you’re good to go where Crucible is concerned. If you still aren’t quite sure, since the game is free, you can always download it to gauge how your machine performs.
