Summary
The PC system requirements forSenua’s Saga: Hellblade 2have officially been unveiled. Ahead of the game’s release, developer Ninja Theory shared the different tiers ofHellblade 2system requirements for PC players.
Being one of Xbox’s biggest titles coming out this year,Hellblade 2is a highly anticipated gameamong the fans of the green brand. Apart from Xbox Series X/S, the sequel to 2017’sHellblade: Senua’s Sacrificeis set to arrive for PC on the same day, May 21. Now that Ninja Theory has announced the required PC specifications, players have been gearing up their systems as they prepare to play the game later this month.
Developer Ninja Theory revealed the different sets of system requirements for PC players to runHellblade 2. These tiers are labeled “Minimum,” “Medium,” “Recommended,” and “Very High.” Based on common knowledge, players may expect the game to be just playable on PCs having specs closer to the “Minimum” tier, whereas the “Recommended” specs may provide the gaming experience most players would find to be smooth. Additionally, those looking to push the performance ofHellblade 2beyond that available on Xboxconsoles and unleash the game’s true technical potential could get the desired results by targeting the “Very High” tier.

As per the system requirements, even the players owning an 8th-gen Intel processor, which is nearly seven years old, could playHellblade 2at minimum settings. On the other hand, the best CPU performance for the game would be available to those players having at least a 12th-gen i5-12600K processor or a Ryzen 7 5700X processor. Further, Nvidia GTX 1070, a modest GPU without raytracing support, happens to be enough to run the game at the lowest preset. However, players using old GPUs may not be able to get the most out ofHellblade 2’s Unreal Engine 5-powered graphics.
Moving on,Hellblade 2is consistent across the different system requirement tiers when it comes to RAM. The developer states that all players would require 16GB RAM or more to play the Xbox first-party title. Moreover, all sets of players would need at least 70GB free on their SSD storage for the game. Lastly, it’s worth noting that the game doesn’t officially support HDD, taking asimilar route toStarfield, another Xbox first-party release.
