Project Motor Racing launches this fall, but its system requirements for PC players are already available. Here's what you will need to run the sim.
Project Motor Racing will be available in fall of 2025, launching on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. While the release is still quite some time away, the Steam page of the title is already available, and it tells players what they will need to run the sim.
Usually, Steam pages of upcoming titles also hint at a few features, such as VR compatibility - and while this will be on board eventually, it does not say anything about the feature yet.
This was the case in Assetto Corsa Competizione, for instance, where in some cases, PlayStation and Xbox-based sim racers had to wait for months until an update hit their platforms of choice after it had already been out for PC. If PMR wants to run cross-platform multiplayer, this means that each platform's version will have to be on the same level when it comes to version numbers.
With a physics engine that is supposedly highly detailed and capable (called Hadron) and being an all-new release in 2025, you would think that a NASA PC would be in order to run PMR smoothly - and there are some hardware hurdles to clear, particularly when it comes to the recommended specs and its 24 GB RAM, for instance. Check out the minimum and recommended specs below.
Interestingly, the specs listed on the Steam page are not accurate yet, with Straight4's Head of Licensing & Community Manager Tim Wheatley explaining that the correct specs will be added there soon.

PC, PlayStation & Xbox To Race Together
However, more interestingly, cross-platform multiplayer is listed - something that we could not get an answer out of Straight4 Studios and GIANTS Software about when we attended the Zürich preview event. Seeing how this will be a feature, it should be good news for console players in the sense that they will not have to wait longer for updates the PC crowd has gotten to enjoy for a while already.This was the case in Assetto Corsa Competizione, for instance, where in some cases, PlayStation and Xbox-based sim racers had to wait for months until an update hit their platforms of choice after it had already been out for PC.
