With the FIFA 18 demo out for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, EA has announced what you’ll need to run the game on PC. Keep in mind that FIFA 18 for PC will not be on disc in India - EA has stopped releasing physical copies of its games on PC for over three years now. Like most games in the franchise, it’s relatively low in terms of system requirements.
There are two sets of PC specifications - one for playing the game in DirectX 12 and another for DirectX 11. Though EA hasn’t specified what DRM the game uses, safe to use it would use Denuvo - which is the industry standard at this point. Interestingly, the minimum and recommended spec for FIFA 18 on DirectX 12 is identical.
