The minimum specification calls for Intel Core i5-2550k or AMD FX-6300, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GT 730, 2GB or AMD Radeon HD 7570, 1GB. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 4GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Metal Slug Tactics launched on 5 November 2024, within three weeks of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Neva. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Neva.
