What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i7-6700 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 8 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti / Radeon RX 570 / Arc A380. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 12GB. 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

Released around the same time: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Routine, Kirby Air Riders, Marvel Cosmic Invasion.
