The premise, in the publisher's words
France, 1944 – As part of a covert US Rangers operation to weaken the Atlantikwall fortifications along the coast of Brittany, elite marksman Karl Fairburne makes contact with the French Resistance.

How it was received
Sniper Elite 5 holds a critic score of 81 out of 100. That places it above 73% of the 7,527 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2022 averaged 74, so it scored 7 points above the year average. Players rate it 75, 6 points lower than critics did — a gap worth knowing about before you buy.
How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 14 hrs.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel CPU Core i3-8100 or equivalent, 8 GB RAM and DirectX12 capable GPU with 4GB VRAM. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 85GB. 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
Sniper Elite 5 launched on 25 May 2022, within three weeks of The Quarry, Citizen Sleeper, Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Card Shark. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 2 years into the PlayStation 5's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: The Quarry, Citizen Sleeper, Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Card Shark.
