# DirectX Requirements

# DirectX is a Microsoft API that games use to operate. When installing the game it is important to make sure that:

The latest version of DirectX is installed

EA games typically ship with the latest version of DirectX available at that time and will often prompt you to update if necessary. You can use EA Help to determine if your system has the latest version of DirectX installed. Find the entry for DirectX and make sure that there are no notes informing you that it needs to be updated. If your version is not the latest, check the game's documentation to determine how to install DirectX.
