Senua's Saga: Hellblade II PC Requirements Revealed - Gear Up for a Visually Stunning Journey
Calling all warriors venturing into the haunting world of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II! The wait is almost over, and today, developer Ninja Theory unveiled the official PC system requirements alongside exciting news for graphics enthusiasts.
A Feast for the Eyes (and Your Hardware):
The minimum requirements for Senua's Saga: Hellblade II list 16GB of RAM, even at 1080p resolution and low settings. This isn't surprising considering the breathtaking visuals Ninja Theory is known for pushing. As you crank up the settings and resolution, the hardware demands become more substantial:
- High Settings (1440p):
- CPU: Intel Core i7-10700K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080, AMD RX 6800 XT, or Intel Arc A770
- RAM: 16GB
- Very High Settings (4K):
- CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XTX
- RAM: 16GB
Important Note: The developer hasn't specified the target frame rate for each hardware configuration. However, they confirmed support for cutting-edge upscaling technologies - NVIDIA DLSS 3, AMD FSR 3, and Intel XeSS 1.3. These technologies can significantly boost frame rates and potentially allow you to achieve higher resolutions without sacrificing visual fidelity.
PC vs. Console: The Frame Rate Battleground
It's worth noting that the PC version of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is poised to be the definitive experience. While the game will run on Xbox Series X|S, it's locked at a "cinematic" 30 frames per second (FPS). This isn't uncommon for some Microsoft first-party titles, like Starfield and Redfall, but it might be a disappointment for PC gamers accustomed to smoother gameplay. There's a chance Ninja Theory might follow the path of Bethesda and Arkane Studios and introduce a 60 FPS mode for consoles in a future update.
