Cryptic finally revealed the minimum and recommended PC specs for their upcoming sci-fi MMO Star Trek Online.

As you might expect, the system requirements for Star Trek Online are not very high because they want as many people playing this as possible. You can't exactly require a game made for a mass market that will pay monthly fees to need the latest ATI or Nvidia graphics card or DX11 because that would kill the game before it even launched.

With that said, it might surprise you that the Star Trek Online minimum specs are higher than Modern Warfare 2's.



Star Trek Online will be released on February 2, 2010. If you pre-order Star Trek Online from Amazon (follow this link), you'll receive access to the open beta (dates not yet announced) and an Amazon.com exclusive Borg Bridge Officer.
