Recommended Hardware

PC Version is Recommended

We recommend getting the PC version of the game as players can get the best experience especially those with more powerful systems. The game also requires a large amount of storage and this can easily be handled with a PC.

For Console, We Recommend PS5 or Xbox Series X|S

For console play, we recommend playing on the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S to avoid any inconvenience with older consoles such as the PS4 and Xbox One. Playing on the newer consoles lets you experience higher image quality and smoother frame rates.

Differences Between Console Platforms

Various Settings Available for Each Console

All settings are available for the PS5 and Xbox Series X while some (or all) settings are unavailable for other platforms.
