Dishonored 2 System Requirements and Settings Revealed

With the release of the highly anticipated Dishonored 2 releasing in a little over a week, Bethesda has revealed the official minimum and recommended specs via a blog post. This blog post also contains a first look at the game's settings menu.

60 gigs for one game isn't all that much these days, but as someone who can remember games being 3 GB and below I'm still sort of taken aback whenever I see a game with an install size north of 50 GB. The game's graphical fidelity also requires you to have a decently powerful machine to run, making the minimum requirements a little higher than some of us can match. If you want to play the game maxed out you'll have to have a really good PC to pull that off!

Now, without further ado . . . here are the system requirements:

Minimum

• Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit versions); Intel Core i5-2400/AMD FX-8320 or better
• 8 GB RAM; 60 GB free HDD space; NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB or better
• Contains a single disc. Download of additional files from Steam is required to run the game.
• Requires Steam activation.

Recommended

• Windows 10 (64-bit versions); Intel Core i7-4770/AMD FX-8350 or better
• 16 GB RAM; 60 GB free HDD space; NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB/AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB or better
• Contains a single disc. Download of additional files from Steam is required to run the game.
• Requires Steam activation.

But wait, there's more! The blog post also reviews all the settings you can tweak in the game's options menu. The amount of options you can play with seems decent at first glance, so you'll be able to fiddle around with it to get the best performance out of your machine.
