Now, these requirements come from the Japanese pre-order page. It is pretty nice to see them break these down based on performance expectations. The storage requirements still aren’t out, but given how this a modern game with ray-tracing support, we should at least expect 50 GB. It’s surprising to see the 1050ti in the minimum requirements, but past CAPCOM titles have been very optimized.
