11007 First Light's PC release ships with four official spec tiers: Minimum (1080p / 30 FPS), Recommended (1080p / 60 FPS), High (1440p / 60 FPS), and Ultra (4K / 60+ FPS with DLSS). The Ultra tier targets the new GeForce RTX 50 Series and supports Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation at launch. Path tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction arrive in a Summer 2026 update rather than at launch.22Official Tier-by-Tier Requirements44ComponentMinimum (1080p / 30 FPS)Recommended (1080p / 60 FPS)High (1440p / 60 FPS)Ultra (4K / 60+ FPS with DLSS)OSWindows 10 64-bitWindows 10/11 64-bitWindows 10/11 64-bitWindows 11 64-bitCPUIntel Core i5-9500 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500Intel Core i5-13500 / AMD Ryzen 5 7600Intel Core i7-13700K / AMD Ryzen 7 7700XIntel Core i5-13600K / AMD Ryzen 7 7700XRAM16 GB16 GB32 GB32 GBGPUNVIDIA GTX 1660 / AMD RX 5700 (6 GB VRAM)NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti / AMD RX 6700 XT (8 GB VRAM)NVIDIA RTX 4070 / AMD RX 7800 XT (12 GB VRAM)NVIDIA RTX 5080 (16 GB VRAM)StorageApproximately 90 GB SSDApproximately 90 GB SSDApproximately 90 GB SSDApproximately 90 GB NVMe SSD66All four tiers require an SSD.
