What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 2 GHz Dual Core, 2 GB RAM and GeForce 400+, AMD Radeon 4000+. 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 15GB. 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
Space Hulk: Ascension launched on 3 October 2014, within three weeks of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Alien: Isolation, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition and Bayonetta 2. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 1 year into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Alien: Isolation, Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, Bayonetta 2.
