What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, or better, 2 GB RAM and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX260, or better. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 13GB. 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
Resident Evil 0 launched on 19 January 2016, within three weeks of The Witness, Firewatch, XCOM 2 and Yakuza Kiwami. 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: The Witness, Firewatch, XCOM 2, Yakuza Kiwami.
