A Plague Tale: Requiem system requirements

3.6

Looking at the A Plague Tale: Requiem system requirements, it appears that the stealth game will be able to cater to a wide variety of gaming PCs. However, you’ll need a current generation graphics card if you’re hoping to meet the recommended specs.

You can meet the A Plague Tale: Requiem system requirements without having the best graphics card on the market, as developer Asobo Studio suggests the Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 590 provide just enough horsepower. However, you shouldn’t expect performance to exceed 30fps using ‘Low’ settings at a 1080p resolution.

If you’re hoping to crank up the game’s quality settings higher, you’ll want to grab the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT or Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070. The latter allows you to unlock Nvidia DLSS to further boost fps, but both of these pixel pushers should be capable enough to drive A Plague: Tale Requiem at 60fps using ‘Ultra’ settings at a native 1080p resolution.

Minimum (30fps, 1920x1080 on Low)
Processor: Intel Core i5-4690K (3.5GHz)/AMD FX-8300 (3.3GHz)
Graphics: 4GB, GeForce GTX 970/Radeon RX 590

Recommended (60fps, 1920x1080 on Ultra)
Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K (3.7GHz)/AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (3.6 GHz)
Graphics: 8GB, GeForce RTX 3070/Radeon RX 6800 XT

As with many other recent games, A Plague Tale: Requiem will run on a hard drive, but installing it on the best SSD for gaming that you have should significantly improve your gameplay experience. Faster storage can help with load times, but can also affect asset streaming speed, leading to less texture pop in.

Valve hasn’t announced what category the A Plague: Tale Requiem Steam Deck compatibility will fall into. The previous game in the series did receive the coveted ‘Verified’ status, so hopefully this latest entry in the series will at least be ‘Playable’.
