The FM26 system requirements are finally out alongside a new gameplay tease, and they're exactly what we expected, which is going to come as bad news to many players. For the best experience, you're going to need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or better alongside 12GB of RAM, specs that may well eliminate the basic work laptops that so many players have relied on for previous games.
The good news is you won't need one of the more expensive options on our best graphics card buying guide to get Football Manager 26 running well. However, as I posited in my FM26 graphics feature a few weeks ago, the specs are more demanding than usual, so many more gamers than with previous iterations of the game will be left unable to play on their existing PCs and laptops. Even if this was a change that had been signalled by the FM25 system requirements, it's still a shame to see this hardware limitation come to fruition.
