Alien: Isolation System Requirements

At five years old Alien Isolation should be showing its age more - but the game still looks great on quite low spec PCs. Alien Isolation system requirements state that provided that you have at least an AMD Radeon HD 5550 graphics card you can play the game. But, according to the developers, the recommended graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660. You'll need a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. Additionally, the game developers recommend somewhere around 8 GB of RAM in your system. In terms of game file size, you will need at least 35 GB of free disk space available. An Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU is required at a minimum to run Alien: Isolation. However, the developers recommend a CPU greater or equal to an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 to play the game.

Alien Isolation PC requirements are low.... because the game is six years old, but don't let that put you off. The tension in the game is brilliant and the environments beautifully realised. As for the Xenomorph rendering... it's scarily good!
