What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM and Direct X9.0c Compatible Card. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today.
What it launched against
Deadbolt launched on 14 March 2016, within three weeks of Tom Clancy's The Division, Dark Souls III, Stardew Valley and SuperHot. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Tom Clancy's The Division, Dark Souls III, Stardew Valley, SuperHot.
