What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel i5-6400 or equivalent, 8 GB RAM and NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD R9 290. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 3GB. 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
Theseus launched on 26 July 2017, within three weeks of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Sonic Mania 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.
Released around the same time: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Sonic Mania, Splatoon 2.
