Read the complete requirement tier
The September 5 Steam listing specifies 16 GB RAM and 50 GB available space at both tiers. Minimum processors are Core i5-8600 or Ryzen 5 3500, paired with GTX 1660 or RX 590 graphics. Recommended processors are Core i7-12700K or Ryzen 7 5700X, paired with RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT graphics.
The minimum tier lists Windows 10; recommended lists Windows 11. Broadband is required. These are the publisher’s configuration targets, not measurements taken on our hardware.
Pay attention to rendering assumptions
Steam qualifies its minimum target as upscaled 1080p Low at 60 fps. Recommended notes describe native 1440p Medium above 70 fps, or upscaled 4K Medium above 60 fps. Native and upscaled rendering are not equivalent workloads, so compare like with like when watching benchmark videos.
BULKHEAD’s performance update discusses optimization and graphics options, but that does not establish a universal best-settings preset. Begin with the tier closest to your system and observe an actual match, not only a quiet scene.
Make testing repeatable
Change one demanding setting at a time, keep resolution and upscaling recorded, and compare similar situations. A busy multiplayer battle can differ from an empty practice environment. These Windows specifications also do not certify Steam Deck or Linux support; verify those separately before purchasing specifically for an unsupported setup.
