With only about a month and a half before the game's launch, developer The Chinese Room and publisher Paradox Interactive have shared the official PC requirements for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 on the store pages where players can pre-order the game.
Bloodlines 2 is powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 5. However, the game does not boast any particularly advanced technology like ray tracing, and indeed, the stated minimum and recommended requirements won't be a problem for most gamers, and the game doesn't require much hard drive space, either.
Minimum:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
Processor: Intel Core i3-8350K | AMD Ryzen 3 3300X
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) | AMD Radeon RX 480 (8GB) | Intel Arc A580 (8GB, Resizable BAR enabled) | AMD Radeon 780M
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 30 GB available space
Recommended:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: Windows 11
Processor: Intel Core i5-12600K | AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8GB) | AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12GB)
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 30 GB available space
Still, we do not know the intended target resolution, frame rate, and graphics preset for the minimum and recommended specs. Moreover, during my recent test of a preview build, I could not help but notice that the dreadful Unreal Engine traversal stuttering was indeed present.
I said as much to the developers of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 when I met them at Gamescom 2025. Hopefully, they can do something to alleviate those issues, making the experience smoother on PC. It is not impossible - a few Unreal Engine games do not suffer as much stuttering as the others, Silent Hill f being one example, according to the Digital Foundry pre-release test.
In other Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 news, the Community Manager revealed a small update regarding the promised tweaks for the Premium Edition and day-one Silk & Song paid DLC. The news will be shared on Wednesday, September 17; meanwhile, PlayStation users who had pre-ordered the Premium Edition through the PlayStation Store have been refunded.
