Dead Island 2 It is currently one of the most anticipated video games. Apart from being an intergenerational title, one aspect that was not completely clear were the system requirements for PC, although luckily Dambuster Studios, the developer, has recently published them and also covers four possible scenarios, ranging from 1080p and 30 frames per second up to 4K and 60fps.
As with The Last of Us Part 1 for PC, we find ourselves with the occasional equivalence error, especially with regard to processors. For the minimal configuration, oriented to 1080p and 30fpswe find a processor AMD FX-9590 or Intel Core i7-7700HQ, which is not right if we take into account that at the CPI level the second is higher than the first. The memory RAM has been set to 10GB and in terms of graphics the thing is well thrown with a AMD Radeon RX 480 or an NVIDIA GTX 1060.
The second detailed requirement configuration is for 1080p and 60 frames per second, which today is still the standard on PC despite the fact that higher resolutions are gradually gaining users. Here we find a processor AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or an Intel Core i9 9900K, 16GB of RAM and a Radeon RX 6600 XT or an RTX 2070 Super like graph.
For 1440p and 60fps The established has been a processor AMD Ryzen 7 7700X or Intel Core i5-12600KF, 16GB of RAM and Radeon RX 6750 XT or a GeForce RTX 3070 as a dedicated graphic. For 4K and 60 frames per second a AMD Ryzen 9 7900X or an Intel Core i7-13700K (here the equivalence is correct), 16GB of RAM and a Radeon RX 6950 XT or a GeForce RTX 3090.
The recommended operating system for all configurations is Windows 10 (it is the one mentioned, although it is assumed that it will work in Windows 11) and the disk space required is 70GB, an amount that at this point should not be very surprising seeing that triple-A titles flirt with 100GB. Because the game is published by Deep Silver, the PC version will appear exclusively on the Epic Games Store at least initially.
Other aspects to take into account is that Dead Island 2 for PC will not have crossplay support with other platforms, the exclusive use of DirectX 12 and that it will support FSR 2 as upscaling technology. DLSS is not mentioned in the FAQ for technical aspects, which does not have to mean that it is ruled out, but it is important to note that AMD’s technology has the advantage of working on older Radeon graphics cards and competitive models. , with special mention to a GTX 1060 that does not support DLSS.
