What hardware does the PC release list?
Compare your actual CPU, GPU and graphics memory with the rows below before choosing settings. The published targets include upscaling. Matching a model name is not a guarantee for every scene, and a laptop part with a similar name should not automatically be treated as the same tested configuration.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Core i7-8700K / Ryzen 5 3600 | Core i5-10600K / Ryzen 5 5600X |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | GTX 1660 6 GB / RX 5500 XT 8 GB | RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB / RX 6700 XT 12 GB |
| Target with upscaling | 1080p / 30 FPS | 1440p / 60 FPS |
Why did the developer ask for 300 GB free?
The larger figure was specifically a free-space recommendation for the pre-load process; it was not a replacement statement that the installed game itself occupies 300 GB. Check the launcher’s current space requirement before beginning a fresh download. Leave room on the installation drive for updates rather than filling it to its final few gigabytes.
How should you prepare the installation drive?
Use the required SSD and verify the destination selected in your launcher before starting. If you have multiple game libraries, check the free space on the chosen drive rather than the machine’s total free space. Recheck the requirement after an interrupted installation so that temporary files do not confuse your next attempt.
