Here are the reported minimum and recommended PC requirements to run the upcoming fantasy RPG Elden Ring as smooth as possible.

Elden Ring, FromSoftware and George R.R Martin’s open-world fantasy RPG, arrives on February 25. Here are the reported minimum and recommended PC specifications and requirements to run the Soulslike game as smoothly as possible.
Elden Ring shakes up the classic Souls format, allowing players to traverse an open world created by George R.R Martin, the author behind A Song of Ice and Fire that Game of Thrones was based off.
Even though Elden Ring is confirmed to be locked at 60 FPS, PC players will want to keep the framerate as consistent as possible, as frame drops will make the game choppy and unresponsive.
Luckily, since the game also releases on previous-gen consoles, the PC requirements aren’t expected to be too taxing. Here’s the kind of PC you’ll need to run Elden Ring at its minimum and recommended settings.
Before you purchase Elden Ring on your PC, you need to know how well your rig can run it. Below, we detail the minimum and recommended PC specs so you know what kind of rig you need to play Elden Ring with clear visuals and a stable frame rate.
The official PC requirements haven’t been revealed yet, but these are the PC requirements that have been reported by System Requirements Lab.
Elden Ring’s minimum PC requirements should be modest, only requiring that players have an Intel Core i5-2500K and an NVIDIA GeForce GTA 770 2GB from 2013.
You can check out the full minimum requirements below:
The expected recommended PC requirements for Elden Ring are also pretty modest, with players only needing 12 GB of RAM, an Intel Core i7-4770K, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
However, even with these PC requirements, a PC would likely struggle to run Elden Ring with Ray Tracing enabled.
There’s currently no confirmation that Elden Ring will feature DLSS support at launch. DLSS is a technology that allows players with RTX GPUs to set their game at a lower resolution, increasing performance, but giving the appearance of a higher resolution.
DLSS would be a major benefit to players who want to enable the Ray Tracing mode, so it’s possible that it will arrive post-launch, but we’ll need to wait for official confirmation.
We expect FromSoftware to release the official list of PC requirements before launch, so stay tuned for any updates.

Apex Legends Season 12 brings a brand new way to play with the Control LTM, which NICKMERCS feels the game “needed.”

NICKMERCS shares his thoughts on why Apex Legends needed the brand new Control LTM coming in Season 12.
Apex Legends Season 12 is almost underway, with the update dropping on February 8, some lucky content creators were actually able to play the new Control LTM early.
These content creators were also able to stream, record, and share their thoughts while playing, which gave fans an insight into what they thought of the mode. NICKMERCS seemed to really enjoy Control, giving his explanation of why Respawn’s battle royale needed the new LTM.
NICKMERCS has become more and more involved in the Apex Legends community since he started grinding Ranked Leagues back in Season 10.
Now, the streamer is widely known for playing Apex, even creating his own tournaments for the pro players and aspiring to be one himself.
In his latest video, NICKMERCS was able to play the Control LTM early with other streamers and content creators, giving his thoughts on the new mode.
For those that don’t know, the new mode is a team-based, objective mode with unlimited respawns. Teams will battle it out for control of three different areas, making for some pretty entertaining gameplay.
NICKMERCS clearly enjoyed his time playing the mode, as he stated that:
“This is by far, like, an LTM that makes sense, it’s something very very different, also something very popular with other games…it’s definitely something they needed, the pace is crazy I won’t lie to you.”
The pace is completely different to the standard battle royale mode, as players can respawn, leading to more risky pushes and aggressive plays.
Not only did NICKMERCS get the chance to play the new LTM early, but he and the others who were involved in the early playtest also got to use the brand new Legend Mad Maggie.

This Player Moments SBC version of Calvert-Lewin is a fantastic Premier League striker that FIFA 22 players could add to their FUT squad.

Everton’s talismanic striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has received a Player Moments SBC during the Future Stars promo in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. Here’s everything you need to know, including stats and how to complete the Calvert-Lewin Player Moments SBC.
If you’re looking to add a Premier League ST to your Ultimate Team squad, Player Moments Calvert-Lewin offers excellent bang for your buck. Calvert-Lewin is the ideal complement to January’s Flashback Harry Kane.
Although he may be difficult to link to squads outside of his league, Calvert-Lewin offers pace and power to any Premier League squad. This massive upgrade to Calvert-Lewin is meant to honor his inclusion in FIFA 19’s Future Stars promo.
Players will be required to submit one squad to get their hands on this goalscoring machine, and we’ve got the cheapest solution to give you a hand.
Calvert-Lewin will be a menace in your opponents’ box thanks to 99 jumping, 99 heading accuracy, 91 strength, and 91 finishing. Calvert-Lewin is the ultimate poacher and his clinical finishing is also paired with proper pace to get in behind defenders. Further, his 93 sprint speed and 88 acceleration will not allow him to fall behind.
This card also has 84 balance, which is a bit of a worry but Calvert-Lewin manages to feel fluid on the ball thanks to his 4* skills and 4* weak foot. His high attacking work rate is exactly what you want from a striker who will fight for your team.
To complete this SBC players will need to give up one squad: Dominic Calvert-Lewin. With a value of around 131,000 coins, Calvert-Lewin is an extremely affordable SBC. Even if you don’t run a full Premier League squad, Calvert-Lewin makes for a great FIFA 22 super sub.
You can check out the cheapest solutions below.
The Calvert-Lewin Player Moments SBC is available until February 21, so you have plenty of time to submit the sole required squad.
FIFA 22 fodder has never been this affordable, making SBCs widely available to all players. If you’re looking for a deal you can even snipe some top players for cheap.
