PC system requirements
The PC build targets Windows 10/11 64-bit on DirectX 12. The minimum spec runs the game at lower settings; the recommended spec is aimed at a smoother high-settings experience.

| OS | Windows 10/11 64-bit | Windows 10/11 64-bit |
| CPU | Intel i7-7700K / Ryzen 5 1600X | Higher-clocked modern CPU |

Console & Steam Deck performance
The PS5 version has been criticized at launch for performance and crashes. UE5.4 with Lumen GI and Nanite is demanding, so on weaker hardware expect to trade settings for a stable frame rate. PC players near the minimum spec should lower settings before assuming the game is broken.
