Notes
Storage is 40 GB at both tiers, so the recommended specification does not ask for more disk space than the minimum
The graphics requirement steps up mainly in VRAM, from 6 GB to 8 GB, rather than across a wide generational gap
Windows 11 is listed at both tiers, with no Windows 10 entry
The Steam release incorporates Denuvo Anti-tamper and requires agreement to a game-specific end user license agreement
The physical Nintendo Switch 2 release has its own storage requirement of at least 12 GB free space for the first-play download, which is unrelated to the PC figures above. Console format details are on Platforms and Versions.
PC features
The Steam listing records Steam Achievements, Steam Trading Cards, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, saving at any time, partial controller support with DualShock and DualSense controllers, a keyboard-only option and a note that a gamepad is recommended. Online play requirements are on Online Features.
