System Requirements For Dead Island 2 PC Announced Ahead Of Release

Dead Island 2 will launch a week earlier on April 21st and before that developer Dambuster Studios dropped the system requirements for the same. As is the case with most PC games these days, you’ll need pretty heavy hardware to run the zombie-slasher sequel at decent settings. While the minimum memory (RAM) and storage requirements are pretty standard – 10GB and 70GB, respectively – you need a high-end processor and graphics cards to play Dead Island 2 on Recommended settings. , High and Ultra. The FAQ page on the game’s website mentions support for AMD’s FSR2 upscaling methods, which should help improve performance without sacrificing much on the visual fidelity front.

The spec sheet only details PC requirements for 1080p resolution and above, requiring an Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics card to run Dead Island 2 at 1080p 30fps. It’s one of the most popular graphics cards according to Steam’s hardware survey, although the game will release exclusively on the Epic Games Store on PC. It’s also unclear whether Dambuster Studios is asking for a 3GB or 6GB version since the AMD Radeon RX 480 alternative is available in 4GB and 8GB variants.

PC requirements to run modern AAA games have gotten pretty high, with even the recent The Last of Us Part I not running well on the benchmarks developer Naughty Dog has set for itself. This is usually tied to a lack of platform optimization, as studios continue to focus on console releases and treat PC releases as an afterthought.

Although Dead Island 2 features a cooperative story mode for up to three players, it does not support cross-play. The game will be locked at 60fps on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X, and will deliver 30fps on older PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
