An Optimized Unreal Engine 5 Experience!

Story Highlight
  • GSC Game World has shared new system requirements for Stalker 2.
  • The game promises over 60FPS at 4K using the Epic preset with a graphics card like the RTX 4080.
  • It also asks for a whopping 160GB of storage.

Stalker 2 is right around the corner, and fans couldn’t be more excited. After enduring all sorts of hardships, GSC Game World has finally wrapped up development, and all signs point to a major success for the team.

Stalker 2 is also launching day one on Game Pass, giving the studio an opportunity to reach more players than ever. To keep the excitement going, GSC Game World has shared system requirements for this Unreal Engine 5 title, showing signs of a very optimized PC version.

Why it matters: Unreal Engine 5 games are known to be very demanding on PC, but recent examples like Black Myth: Wukong have shown a shift away from this trend. GSC Game World appears to be following suit.

According to the latest requirements, the game demands a whopping 160GB of storage and at least 16GB of Dual Channel memory.

On the CPU and GPU side, a combination consisting of a Ryzen 7 3700X and an RTX 2070 Super is recommended for 1080p 60FPS gameplay at the Medium preset. On the other hand, those aiming for 1440p gameplay should consider using an RTX 3070 Ti or Radeon RX 6800 XT.

Furthermore, GSC Game World recommends an RTX 4080 for 4K 60FPS gameplay at the Epic preset. What’s interesting about these requirements is that they do not appear to consider upscaling.

All in all, the system requirements are quite modest for a brand-new Unreal Engine 5 title boasting cutting-edge visuals.

Stalker 2 officially arrives on November 20, promising a survival experience like no other. The game is set to serve as one of Xbox’s flagship exclusives this year, with a PlayStation release expected next year once the timed exclusivity window ends.
