A Plague Tale Requiem is one of the most anticipated games of the moment and will also be one of the most challenging games of this generation. Asobo Studio, the developer of this title, made a significant leap both technicallysomething that was made possible by its concept as a current-gen exclusive, coming only to Xbox Series XS, PS5 and PC.
as you might imagine this jump was recorded in the graphics section, in the animations of the characters and in the breadth of the scenarios, but it obviously also affected the requirements of the game, which will be much higher than the original, which was conceived as a title of the previous generation. It’s funny because despite that, her design and art direction were so good that the game ended up being a graphical delight.
We knew that we would need a powerful computer to play A Plague Tale Requiem, but we weren’t sure where the minimum would be and where the recommended level would be. Today we were finally able to get rid of the doubts, we have already confirmed it minimum and recommended requirements and level of quality, resolution and fluency to which we can strive if we comply with one or the other.
Plague Tale Requiem Minimum Requirements
- Windows 10 20H1 as the operating system.
- Processor Core i5-4690K or AMD FX 8300 (quad-core).
- 16 GB of RAM.
- GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon RX 590 graphics card.
- 4 GB of graphics memory.
- DirectX 12.
- 55 GB free space.
We can play with this configuration 1080p with low quality and stable 30 FPS. There is no serious error in the CPU-level equivalences, although it would be more correct to list the Ryzen 3 1300X as a direct equivalence to the Core i5-4690K.

On the GPU side, the equivalence is not correct. The closest to GeForce GTX 970 is a Graphics card Radeon RX 570 4GB.
A Plague Tale Requiem Recommended Requirements
- Windows 10 20H1 as the operating system.
- Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor (six cores and twelve threads).
- 16 GB of RAM.
- GeForce RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card.
- 8 GB of graphics memory.
- DirectX 12.
- 55 GB free space. SSD recommended.
If we meet this configuration, we can play 1080p with maximum quality and maintaining a stable 60 FPS. In this case, the CPU equivalents are fine-tuned, although we cannot say the same about the GPU equivalents, as the GeForce RTX 3070 ranks between the Radeon RX 6700 XT and the Radeon RX 6800.
I remind you that A Plague Tale Requiem will arrive on PC and consoles October 18. A compatible version will have ray tracing and DLSS, according to the latest information. This may be why the requirements that Asobo Studios stated indicated a higher requirement for AMD Radeon graphics, but until we test the game it will be impossible for us to confirm or rule that out.
To play at higher resolutions, we will need a more powerful graphics card. We don’t have specific dates, but based on the claims we’ve seen, I daresay so with GeForce RTX 3080 we can play 1440p with maximum quality and 60 FPS or in 4K with maximum quality and 30 FPSwithout pulling DLSS.
