An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 30GB.

Sonic Frontiers launched on 7 November 2022, within three weeks of God of War Ragnarök, A Plague Tale: Requiem, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord and Bayonetta 3. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
