Latest Official PC Requirements

Minimum

Windows 10 with DirectX 12; Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X; 16 GB RAM; Nvidia RTX 4060, AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580; 60 GB SSD.

These updated tiers replace the older chart widely reported in April 2026. The developer has said more detailed presets will follow the final optimization process.

Details Still To Confirm

• Final resolution, graphics preset, and frame-rate target attached to each updated tier.
• Upscaling and frame-generation support such as DLSS, FSR, or XeSS.
• Ray tracing, ultrawide, HDR, and Steam Deck behavior.
• Shader compilation, traversal stutter, and day-one driver performance.

Launch Performance Testing Plan

Once the game is playable, this guide should test 1080p, 1440p, and 4K targets separately. A useful guide should also track shader compilation, traversal stutter, cutscene frame limits, HDR behavior, and save-file stability.

How To Read Requirements Safely

Minimum requirements usually mean the game can run, not that it will feel good. Recommended requirements usually target a specific resolution and frame rate, but storefront pages do not always state that target clearly. This guide should record the target whenever official specs include it.

PC Settings To Test

• Texture quality and VRAM usage.
• Shadow, foliage, and crowd settings in dense areas.
• CPU load during city, combat, and traversal scenes.
• Upscaling quality and latency if supported.
• Controller prompts, keyboard rebinding, ultrawide behavior, HDR, and accessibility options.

Player Recommendation Framework

Below Minimum

Wait for community testing before buying.

Near Minimum

Expect compromises and prioritize refund-window testing.

Near Recommended

Check the stated resolution and frame-rate target before assuming high settings.

Above Recommended

Still watch for shader compilation, driver issues, and day-one patch notes.

Performance Evidence Standard

After launch, performance notes should list hardware, resolution, settings, driver version, and whether the test used the day-one patch. A single benchmark is not enough for a recommendation if the game has heavy city areas, boss effects, or traversal loading. This page should separate official requirements from real-world performance reports.

Launch-Week Use Case

The most helpful first update is a plain-language interpretation of official specs. Players want to know whether their PC is clearly below minimum, near minimum, near recommended, or comfortably above recommended. After that, real performance testing should add practical settings advice instead of only repeating storefront text.

Minimum Useful Update

The minimum useful update is a clear minimum versus recommended table plus the target resolution if official text provides it.

FAQ

Are the minimum and recommended PC requirements confirmed?

Yes. Bandai Namco lists updated minimum and recommended specifications. More detailed higher presets and real-world launch performance still need confirmation.

What should the system requirements page include after launch?

It should include minimum specs, recommended specs, graphics options, upscaling support, controller support, benchmark notes, and tested settings advice.

Should best settings be published before hands-on testing?

No. Pre-launch settings pages should explain the test plan and wait for real performance checks before recommending exact presets.
