You push yourself from the ground. Biting wind claws at your eyes, your throat. Every inch of your body hurts, but you are alive. Your squadmates are not.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-3.3 GHz or better, or AMD Equivalent, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GTX 760 or AMD Equivalent. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 45GB. 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
Wasteland 3 launched on 27 August 2020, within three weeks of Marvel's Avengers, Hades, Hades and Factorio. It reviewed better than 2 of the 4. It arrived 7 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
