Evolve's Big Alpha test kicks off on PC on October 31, although Xbox One players get a 24 hour head start.

Turtle Rock has provided both minimum and recommended PC system requirements for the test, which you can check out below.

Please note that these are not the final system requirements; Turtle Rock said that there is still "lots of optimizing to be done before Evolve ships in February".

    Minimum specs
  • CPU:
    - Intel Pentium D 3GHz or higher
    - AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 6400 2.4 GHz or higher

    - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or higher
  • HDD: 15GB Install
  • OS: Windows 7 64-bit
  • Whether you’re using a lower-end PC or just value frame-rates over quality: We turned down the settings a bit and turned off AA to get some extra frames on an older test rig in the office.
    Recommended specs
