Every specification field on the PC listings is marked as to be announced, and the only hardware statement so far is that a 64-bit processor and operating system are needed.

Every specification field on the PC listings is marked as to be announced, and the only hardware statement so far is that a 64-bit processor and operating system are needed. On consoles the publisher has confirmed a 60FPS Performance Mode with ray-tracing support at launch on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, and its own social post adds that the mode runs at 4K, a qualifier the storefront wording leaves out. The statement names those three consoles and does not mention Xbox Series S either way. No resolution or frame-rate target has been given for the PC build, and the publisher has said it will share more about the technology, specifications and modes before release. Any other specific figure circulating before launch should be treated as unverified. Details of the engine work behind those eventual targets are covered in Development History.25252626Editions and Availability272728-A Collector's Edition was announced on 24 August 2026.
