Compatibility answer
The Intel Core i7-11700K is the Intel CPU listed for the recommended PC tier.
Official tier context
- The AMD alternative is Ryzen 7 5700X.
- Recommended graphics options are RTX 4060, RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580.
- The tier still lists 16 GB RAM and a 60 GB SSD.
How to use the specification
Use the recommended tier as a balanced-system reference rather than interpreting one named part as a guarantee of maximum settings.
Benchmark boundary
The official requirement table names hardware tiers but does not publish a final resolution, frame-rate, graphics-preset, or upscaling target for each tier. These pages help buyers compare the named components without pretending the list is a benchmark.
Do not convert a component name into an invented FPS claim. After launch, this page should add driver version, resolution, preset, upscaling mode, crowded-scene lows, and traversal stutter results from a repeatable test route.
What is not confirmed
Official resolution, ray tracing, and frame-rate targets are not stated.
This boundary is deliberate: the page can answer its named question now without pretending to be a launch walkthrough. It will be expanded only when official patch notes or reproducible play evidence adds a new, useful answer.
Source and verification
