What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / Intel i5-8400, 16 GB RAM and AMD RX 5700 / Nvidia GTX 1070 / Intel Arc A580. A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 75GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
