The EA Sports F1 25 system requirements have been revealed, and whether you plan to enjoy the game with a standard controller or in VR, the specs your gaming PC will need to meet have been covered in this new reveal.
You won’t need the best graphics card to get the best out of EA Sports F1 25, but if you’re hoping to play via virtual reality, one of the best VR headsets is a must.
Here are the F1 25 system requirements:
| Minimum | Recommended | |
| OS | Windows 10 or later | Windows 10 or later |
| CPU | Intel Core i5 6400 AMD Ryzen 3 1200 |
Intel Core i5 9600K AMD Ryzen 5 2600X |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 AMD Radeon RX 570 Intel Arc A380 |
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 AMD Radeon RX 6600XT Intel Arx A580 |
| VRAM | At least 6GB | At least 8GB |
| Storage | 100GB | 100GB |
| RAM | 8GB | 16GB |
The F1 25 minimum requirements are more or less the same as last year’s game. You’ll need an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, AMD Radeon RX 570, or Intel Arc A380 GPU paired with an Intel Core i5 6400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU.
You’ll also only need 8GB of RAM, a nice relief for those still using older gaming PCs and laptops that haven’t made the jump to 16GB just yet. Regardless, upgrading to some of the best gaming RAM is fairly cheap and an easy upgrade to carry out.
As for the F1 25 recommended specs, you’ll need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, or Intel Arc A580 paired with an Intel Core i5 9600K or AMD Ryzen 5 2600X. The RAM requirements also double here to 16GB.
If you want to play with ray tracing enabled, the GPU specs change at each level. You’ll need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT for minimum and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 for recommended. The Intel cards stay the same for standard and ray tracing gameplay across both tiers.
Here are the F1 25 VR system requirements:

| CPU | Intel Core i5 9600K AMD Ryzen 2600X |

While the F1 25 VR specs don’t deviate massively from the base set, the Steam store page does list the following limited selection of headsets as supported.
- Meta Quest 2 and 3
- Oculus Rift S
- HTC Cosmos
- HTC Vive Pro
- Valve Index
- HP Reverb G2
Finally, the F1 25 download size comes in at 100GB, with no requirement for an SSD listed at any tier. Regardless, we still recommend using one of the best SSDs for gaming to deal with the sometimes egregious loading times the F1 games produce.
