Today you can buy a computer game at many points of sale of video games. At first glance, it may seem that this is a simple matter: go, choose, buy. But there are actually certain things to look out for when buying a video game. If you don't follow certain rules, you can buy a game that won't launch on your computer. And you're just wasting your money.

Step 1
If, for example, for a video console you can just go and buy a game that you like, then in the case of buying games for a computer, things are different. Each game has its own system requirements for the computer. If your PC does not meet the system requirements, then most likely this game will not start on it. Even if you manage to launch it, you will not be able to play comfortably.
Step 2
Please remember the configuration of your computer before purchasing the game. As a rule, system requirements consist of three components: the frequency of the processor (the system requirements for certain games may also indicate the minimum number of processor cores), the amount of computer RAM, and the video card. If earlier it was only about the memory of the video card, nowadays, the system requirements usually indicate the models and series of video cards that the game supports.
Step 3
When choosing a game, be sure to see if its system requirements are right for your computer. If they do, then the game should work on your PC. Some games require an internet connection to install. This is usually also indicated in the system requirements. If you don't have internet access, you just don't install such a game.
Step 4
Also, in order to play some games, a stable internet connection is required. Usually, the packaging for the game indicates the minimum Internet connection speed at which you can play this game. This does not only apply to online games. Many companies use this as an additional security option. If your Internet connection speed is lower than the requested one, it will also be impossible to play comfortably.
Step 5
Please note that licensed and pirated versions of games are sold on the market. By purchasing a pirated copy, you lose technical support. It is also not a fact that the pirate game will start on your computer. Therefore, always buy a licensed disc.
