Star Trek Online system requirements unveiled


Earlier today we brought you an extensive hands-on preview of Star Trek Online, the next MMO from developer Cryptic Studios. Today the game's official web site decided to update its FAQ page and part of that update was to reveal the PC system requirements needed to run the game.

Both the minimal and recommended specs show that the game is DirectX9 based so no matter what happens your rig won't likely need to be a performance hog to run the final version. Star Trek Online is currently in closed beta testing and this week its publisher Atari revealed that it's due for a February 2, 2010 launch date in the US. You can check out the game's system requirements after the jump.
