FIFA 21 System Requirements

The FIFA 21 system requirements include a minimum CPU equivalent to an Intel Core i3-6100 CPU, whereas the recommended CPU is an Intel Core i5-3550. The minimum RAM required for FIFA 21 is 8 GB. The cheapest graphics card you can play it on is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660, but a GTX 670 or better is recommended. The FIFA 21 PC requirements state that you will need at least 50 GB free storage space to install the game.

It's worth noting that unfortunately the PC release of FIFA 21 is based on the last-gen version for PS4 and Xbox One. This explains the somewhat low requirements for a 2020 release game. Hopefully, with FIFA 22 we'll see the PC release taking full advantage of next-gen hardware.
