The minimum specification calls for Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD® Athlon™ 64 X2, 1 GB RAM and ATI™ Radeon™ X700 (256 MB) or NVidia Equivalent (256 MB) or better.. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 2GB.

What it launched against
Hitman Go: Definitive Edition launched on 23 February 2016, within three weeks of Tom Clancy's The Division, Stardew Valley, Firewatch and SuperHot. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 3 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Tom Clancy's The Division, Stardew Valley, Firewatch, SuperHot.
