Alongside today’s surprise early access announcement, Genki has confirmed the PC specifications for the upcoming Tokyo Xtreme Racer reboot.

Set to launch in Early Access on 23 January, just one week after Assetto Corsa EVO’s Early Access release, Tokyo Xtreme Racer marks the series’ return after 18 years. With only three weeks until launch, Genki has confirmed the PC system requirements – and you’ll need powerful hardware to play it.

According to the Steam page, the minimum system requirements include an Intel Core i7-7700 processor, 16 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti ((VRAM 4GB)) graphics card. An Intel Core i7-13700 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (VRAM 8GB) or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060i are recommended for higher settings.

Here are the minimum and recommended Tokyo Xtreme Racer system requirements:

Expected to last around four months, the initial early access release will feature roughly half of the full game’s story mode, with over 200 rival characters to race and 50 tuneable cars from manufacturers such as Nissan, Toyota and Mazda. Channelling the spirit of the original series, players will engage in head-to-head battles across 180 kilometres (111 miles) of Tokyo’s Shuto Expressway.

For now, the Tokyo Xtreme Racer reboot is only slated for PC. However, Genki, which has helmed the series since it began in 1994, has hinted it may come to other platforms in the future.

“The reason we chose PC first was because we believe it will allow the most ease of access to our fans all over the world as well as allow us to tweak and improve the game as quickly as we can,” the Japanese developer said in a statement.
