What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-2400 - AMD FX-6100, 6 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 with 2 GB VRAM / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 - AMD Radeon HD 7770 with 2 GB VRAM. An 6GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 11GB.

All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
