What are the published PC requirements?
The fetched English Steam data lists:
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| CPU | Core i5-7500 / Ryzen 5 1500X | Core i7-14700K / Ryzen 7 7800X3D |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | RTX 2070 / RX 6700 XT | RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT |
| DirectX | 11 | 12 |
| Free storage | 25 GB | 50 GB |

Why are there two storage numbers?
The store provides different free-space allowances for its minimum and recommended specifications. Preserve both instead of choosing one and calling it the exact download size. Installed size, compressed download size and space needed for updates are separate measurements. Check the Steam installation dialog for the actual package and free space needed on your own machine.
Does matching the recommended GPU guarantee smooth play?
No benchmark target is attached to these specifications in the fetched listing. The first launch hotfix also acknowledges player performance reports and asks for hardware and graphics settings. A supported component list does not establish a guaranteed resolution, preset or average frame rate. Check current performance reports with comparable settings rather than using the requirements as a benchmark chart.
What else should you check before troubleshooting?
Multiplayer requires an internet connection, and the listing calls for a 64-bit processor and operating system. Record the game build, graphics preset and upscaling selection when describing a problem. The performance guide explains the specific DLAA change announced at launch; avoid applying an old demo configuration guide as if it were tested against the current game.
