What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i5-3470, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 10GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
R-Type Dimensions III launched on 19 May 2026, within three weeks of 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and Directive 8020. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 6 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Directive 8020.
