We’ve said it before and we will keep saying it until the end of time: providing the resolution, graphical settings and expected FPS with the PC requirements should be the norm, so we’re very happy to see that here.
The only real downside here is the rather high requirements. We know this is a new game in the AAA space but many people (ourselves included) have been unable to upgrade their PCs during the worldwide component shortage and the absurd prices on parts, especially GPUs.
Maybe we’re just mad that our previously mid-level RX 580 has been bumped down to “minimum specs” level. Either or really.
Those who want to see exact which graphical options can be tweaked can head here. It seems to be the usual mix of options but we’re glad to see a zero to 100 option for headbob, a “feature” that can cause some real motion sickness.
Those who already own the game can expect pre-loading to go live 48 hours before the 14th September launch. The exact time for that launch is at 13:01 in South Africa on the day.
