You won’t need Iron Man’s tech to run the upcoming Marvel’s Avengers on PC when the beta kicks off this weekend. Square Enix released the official Marvel’s Avengers PC system requirements along with details about a new 30GB texture pack. The texture pack makes everything look better and might be something to consider if you appreciate high-quality assets.
The minimum Marvel’s Avengers PC system requirements are not too crazy. Of course, if you want the best visual experience you are going to need a powerhouse PC. The greater the better.

The Marvel’s Avengers PC version also includes support for ultra-wide resolutions, unlocked framerates, fully-configurable controls, multi-display setups and more. Players can also easily switch between the mouse and keyboard and a gamepad.
The Marvel’s Avengers PC and Xbox One closed beta kicks off this weekend. As for PS4, the open beta goes live at the same time. This means players need to pre-order on PC and Xbox One in order to play the test and all PS4 owners can jump in.
I played the beta last weekend thought it was great but not without its issues. Apart from Hulk stealing everyone’s kills and being extremely overpowered, the beta’s story missions are great. However, the same cannot be said for the co-op missions which often feel like pointless punch ’em up objectives. In addition, I am extremely concerned about the game’s push for microtransactions as all the dull skins are free in challenge cards but if you want to look awesome you are forced to splurge in the marketplace.
