Tekken 8 PC System Requirements Confirmed, Demands 100GB of Storage

Bandai Namco has confirmed the Tekken 8 PC requirements over on the fighting game’s Steam page.

Most pressing here is probably the game’s 100GB storage space requirement, but it’s also worth noting the minimum specs require 8GB of RAM, whereas the recommended requirements call for 16GB of RAM.

Bandai Namco has an additional note regarding Tekken 8’s frames per second count. With these specifications in hand, “stable over 60” is apparently “guaranteed” and selected under the graphic settings by default when the game is launched for the first time. However, Bandai Namco warns the framerate may drop when other applications are running in the background. Tekken chief Katsuhiro Harada has also insisted there are no plans to add controversial anti-piracy software Denuvo to Tekken 8.
