What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i5-3470 3.20 GHz or AMD FX™-6300, 4 GB RAM and NVIDIA®GeForce® GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 560. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 20GB. 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
Monster Hunter Stories launched on 14 June 2024, within three weeks of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Nine Sols, Still Wakes the Deep and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 11 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Nine Sols, Still Wakes the Deep, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
