  • OS: Windows 10 (64-bit) or newer
  • Processor: Intel I7 (11 generation), AMD Ryzen 9 5900
  • Memory: 32 GB RAM

  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 25 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: The game supports DLSS and FSR upscaling algorithms. If you're experiencing low FPS and your GPU supports any of these algorithms - try them out. Game loads much faster on SSD, HDD sometimes cause the game to freeze while loading the game and require restart (after restart the game loads correctly). If you're experiencing crashes while loading - it might be that the game takes up too much RAM - to quickly fix it you can lower the Texture Quality setting.
