    If it works in Win7, there is no reason it won't work in 8. Unless of course it requires something like an OS check and Win8 isn't found for the game to verify that the system can run it. (Not something you find often now, but did happen in older games a lot.)

    I've played PWI, FW, and STO on Win8.

    It's going to be hard with some video cards because of limited compatibility.
    Aside from that, it works just as well on 8 as it does on 7.

    You'll probably have to tweak some drivers for your card so they will install properly on 8.
