Resident Evil Requiem’s PC system requirements have been revealed ahead of the game’s release on February 27. It’s good news for anyone gaming on an older rig, as the survival horror’s recommended specs are relatively low-end–meaning no expensive upgrades in an era of ballooning hardware prices.
In what seems to be an ongoing trend for AAA titles on PC, both Resident Evil Requiem’s minimum and recommended specs should be pretty easy for most PC gamers to meet.
Looking at the graphics card, generally the most demanding part of a PC build, Requiem’s minimum specs list the GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 5500 XT, both lower-end cards that launched over six years ago. The recommended specs list the GeForce RTX 2060 Super, another 2019 card, or the Radeon RX 6600. Even if your PC hasn’t been upgraded in a while, buying an older graphics card to meet these specs won’t require a huge investment.
The one spec that may trip up some older rigs is the requirement for 16GB RAM, even at minimum specs. While some games still allow for 8GB RAM at minimum, more titles are starting to require a 16GB minimum–which has the potential to be a costly upgrade at a time where RAM prices are increasing rapidly.
