The hotly anticipated tech test for Titanfall 2 is coming soon, so get your PS4s and Xbox Ones ready for all the mech goodness. What? I forgot to mention PC? Unfortunately, developer Respawn has decided that PC won't be part of the test.

"Two big issues from a development standpoint: hardware variety & 'min spec' optimization," said Respawn CEO Vince Zampella in a blog post on the official site. "We’re still making a lot of tweaks and changes to the renderer, the game, and effects so we haven’t run the game through the hardware compatibility lab yet to detect and handle a large variety of hardware - video cards, CPUs etc. Quite frankly, we aren't ready to deal with that yet, we are still making the game better. We also haven't done enough work to fully support our 'Min Spec' on PC yet. So, currently the PC game isn’t as easy to throw out for testing as the console is, because of the additional variables and configurations that we need to support."

Zampella also cited the occasional overzealous nature of some players. "Because the single player story has some wonderful secrets that we really want to preserve for launch, we also have to worry about leaks," he said. "Our wonderfully curious PC players have proven in the past that they will dig out anything they can, and there's a risk that they could spoil some of our single player."

He reminded everyone that the goal of the tech test is to make sure the servers can scale properly and handle the stress, noting that he is confident that "we’re confident in our ability to deliver a great PC experience for launch."

The game launches on PS4, Xbox One and PC on October 28.
