As for the rest of the technical issues, so far it was known that the game will offer fun in 4K and HDR, but also with solutions such as DLSS and XeSS. Today, key information for many players was also given, i.e. hardware requirements. These look really reasonable. To play, you only need a processor like Intel Core i5-4690 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 with an NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD RX 580 graphics card. However, to enjoy the highest quality (4K, ray tracing) you will need to purchase quite high-end equipment , i.e. the Intel Core i7-9700K / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X system paired with NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti graphics.
