What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen™ 5 1400 / Intel® Core™ i3-8100, 16 GB RAM and AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 (RX 6600 or above required) / Intel® Arc™ A580 / NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2060 (RTX series required). 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 155GB 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.

Released around the same time: Balatro, Helldivers 2, Pacific Drive, Unicorn Overlord.
