At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. 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
The End Is Nigh launched on 12 July 2017, within three weeks of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Diablo III: Eternal Collection, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Splatoon 2. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
