Settings checklist before launch

Confirm final PC requirements on the official store page

Check controller, ultrawide, and accessibility notes when available

Avoid downloading unofficial benchmark tools

Revisit this page after demo, review, or launch builds are public

How to read early system requirement claims

Pre-release requirement pages are often noisy because store metadata, engine assumptions, and community guesses spread faster than final technical notes. This guide does not invent minimum CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, or preset targets before official information is available. When a requirement is missing, the page explains what to watch instead: engine, platform, visual density, input needs, and whether public footage suggests performance-sensitive systems.

After launch or demo access, this page should become a practical setup guide with tested presets, known performance issues, controller notes, ultrawide behavior, shader compilation notes, and accessibility options. Until then, it is a safe planning page rather than a fake benchmark chart.
