What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3 @ 2.13GHz or Equivalent, 3 GB RAM and AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series or Equivalent. At 3GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 3GB. 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
Shu launched on 4 October 2016, within three weeks of Persona 5, Battlefield 1, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI and Sid Meier's Civilization VI. 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: Persona 5, Battlefield 1, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, Sid Meier's Civilization VI.
