Dying Light 2‘s PC specs have been officially released. If you’re looking forward to parkouring over the scalps of the undead, here’s the hardware you’ll need to either just get by or fly high.
The big kicker here will be the requirements to run Dying Light 2 with ray tracing, which should go a long way to upping the beauty of the “City.” At a minimum, you’ll need 16GB of RAM, and an RTX 2060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB.
That will still only get you 1080p and 30fps. If you want ray tracing on and running at 60fps, you’ll need one of those elusive Nvidia RTX 3080 GPUs, plus an Intel i5-8600K or AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X.
