What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i3-8100, AMD Ryzen 3 1300X, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, AMD Radeon RX 5500XT. 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 150GB 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.

It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Helldivers 2, Persona 3 Reload, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Tekken 8.
