Electronic Arts has explained why FIFA 14 on the PC will not be powered by the next-gen Ignite Engine.



EA Sports executive Andrew Wilson told Polygon that the lion's share of PCs are not powerful enough to cope with the brand new game engine.

"Even though there were some PCs on the marketplace that could run that engine, the lion's share of PCs on the marketplace could not," Wilson explained.

"The majority of the gamer base that was playing the game on PC did not have a PC spec that would work with that."

Wilson added that once average PC specs improve across the board, next-gen versions of FIFA will be readily available.

FIFA 14 will be coming to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on September 27, while the Xbox One and PS4 versions will be released later this year.

The Xbox One version of FIFA 14 will benefit from exclusive 'Ultimate Team' content.
