What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i5-8500, 16 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 1660 (6GB) or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (8GB). A 16GB memory requirement is demanding — worth checking before you buy, because 8GB is still common in older and budget machines. Install size is roughly 10GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
