What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel 7th Gen: Intel Core i7-7700 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX-5600 XT (6GB). A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. It also needs around 117GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
