IO Interactive has announced the system requirements for their upcoming game, First Light. This update is crucial for gamers interested in experiencing a cinematic gameplay without overtaxing their equipment.
Minimum and Recommended Requirements
The minimum setup for First Light supports 1080p resolution at 30 FPS. It requires Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), an NVIDIA GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 GPU, 8 GB of VRAM, an Intel Core i5-9500 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and 80 GB of storage. Despite these being modest requirements by current standards, they are sufficient to run the game at a basic level.
For a smoother experience with 60 FPS at 1080p, the recommended requirements include an NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti or AMD RX 6700 XT GPU, 12 GB of VRAM, an Intel Core i5-13500 or AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU, along with the same storage and RAM at an elevated 32 GB. These specs match mid-range gaming PCs commonly available today.
Gameplay and Performance Notes
Players should expect extensive use without forced ray tracing, allowing for better performance across a variety of systems. Some frame drops have been noted in the Kensington mission gameplay, but overall performance remains stable. The download will require around 80 GB of storage space.
The shift in specs underlines IO Interactive's commitment to providing a flexible gaming experience adaptable to both older and newer PC models, making First Light an accessible option for many enthusiasts.
