Resident Evil Requiem requirements forecast

To run the Resident Evil Requiem requirements, we estimate you'll need an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU, an Intel Core i7-6700K CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 50GB of SSD space.

Resident Evil Requiem appears to be an indirect sequel to Resident Evil Outbreak, and it's safe to say that the game's requirements have come a long way since then. However, despite wearing the label of a AAA game, we expect that the Resident Evil Requiem PC requirements will actually be fairly tame considering what RE8 and the RE4 remake demanded.

Considering what we've seen of the Requiem trailer and the general requirements of previous titles in the RE universe, we expect that the Resident Evil Requiem minimum requirements will call for an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU or 6GB VRAM equivalent, a quad-core CPU, and 8GB of RAM. Of course, assuming this is enough to get Requiem running, it won't be enough to render the game at its best.

No, for that, you'll want to aim for the Resident Evil Requiem recommended specs, which we expect will demand an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU, an Intel Core i7-8700K CPU, and 16GB of RAM. Overall, this isn't a massive jump over our estimated minimum requirements, and that's because previous Resident Evil entries follow this pattern. From our experience, RE games are pretty well optimized, so there's no reason to expect Requiem won't be the same. 

Resident Evil Requiem size - How big is RE Requiem?

We expect that the Resident Evil Requiem download size on PCs and laptops will demand about 50GB of SSD space. It's very unlikely that HDDs will be compatible considering the general trend away from HDDs in hardware requirements, and the fact the game isn't due until 2026.
