Capcom has unveiled the PC specifications required to run Resident Evil Requiem, scheduled for release at the end of February. The upcoming ninth installment in the Resident Evil series has garnered positive early feedback, blending horror elements to cater to both survival and action enthusiasts. Resident Evil Requiem offers a mix of intense action reminiscent of Resident Evil 4 with segments featuring suspenseful exploration akin to Resident Evil 7.
The game will be available on various platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2. However, many fans are eagerly anticipating the PC version to maximize the game’s graphical capabilities. Fortunately, the game seems to be relatively light on PC requirements, allowing players with moderately powerful PCs to enjoy the game with enhanced graphics.
To run Resident Evil Requiem, the recommended components are not the latest releases but rather parts that have been on the market for a few years. For instance, the recommended Intel Core i7 8700 was launched in 2017, and the RTX 2060 Super came out in 2019. Generally, if you own a gaming PC built within the last seven to eight years, you should be able to run the game smoothly.
While the exact resolution and frame rate for these specifications have not been confirmed by Capcom, achieving 4K resolution and 120fps may require a more robust graphics card and CPU setup. However, based on the reliable performance history of previous Resident Evil games developed on the RE Engine, most players are unlikely to encounter hardware compatibility issues.
Resident Evil 9 is set to be released on PC on February 27, 2026. Fans can look forward to immersing themselves in the latest installment of this popular gaming franchise.
