The PC requirements for the anticipated action-adventure/horror sequel A Plague Tale: Requiem have been revealed, and they’re going to make your rig sweat. The Recommended specs ask for at least a GeForce RTX 3070 or a Radeon RX 6800 XT, and that’s only for 1080p/60fps. If you’re hoping to play at 1440p or 4k, you’re going to need something even heftier. Thankfully, A Plague Tale: Requiem does support up to DLSS 3 on capable graphics cards, so you should be able to wring better performance out of your PC that way. Unfortunately, FSR won’t be on the menu at launch.

Here are A Plague Tale: Requiem’s Minimum and Recommended PC specs:
