The Tekken 8 store page on Steam has been updated with the minimum PC specs for the title set to launch on January 26, 2024, and brings tidings that may have some console players a bit worried: Bandai Namco’s fighting game requires 100GB of storage space. Coming with highly detailed models and stages, the title is going to be quite a looker, but will add to gamers’ rising storage woes. This requirement is also in line with those of Mortal Kombat 1, another recent release from the genre.

Speaking of Mortal Kombat, Tekken’s developers recommend you to have double the memory than for the competitor – namely 16 GB RAM. Minimum GPU requirements look to be a little more demanding for Tekken 8 as well.

While Tekken 8 comes a little bit too late to complete a basically perfect year for genre fans with the releases of Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1, it’s just a little over two months until users can once again jump into the ring. Storywise, the game will continue the narrative from Tekken 7.

Tekken 8 will be released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
