Capcom is giving gamers an idea what they will need in PC hardware in order to play Resident Evil VII ahead of its release date in January.
| Resident Evil VIIRequirements | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i5-4460 (Haswell, 3.2 GHz) / AMD FX-6300 (Vishera, 3.5 GHz) | Intel Core i7-3770 (Ivy Bridge, 3.4 GHz) or AMD equivalent |
| GPU | Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 / AMD Radeon R7 260x | Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 / AMD R9 280X |
| RAM | 8 GB | 8 GB |
| OS | Windows 7, 8.1, 10 (64-bit) | Windows 7, 8.1, 10 (64-bit) |
| DirectX Version | 11 | 11 |
Based on the provided specs, it doesn’t look as if you need a powerful PC to run the game. You’ll also notice that there isn’t a specific storage amount, nor a specific AMD-equivalent CPU in the Recommended section . Capcom did mention on the Steam page (where the specs were found) that the “Recommended” hardware was for 1080p resolution at 60fps, and the minimum requirements would support the same resolution at 30 fps.

At the Tokyo Game Show, however, the franchise’s Twitter account mentioned that the game would support 4K resolution and high dynamic range on the PlayStation 4 Pro, so there’s hope that native 4K support, along with other visual upgrades, will come to the PC version as well. We’re still a few months away from the game’s release date, so there’s still time for the studio to make changes to the system requirements.
What is also up in the air for PC, as well as Xbox One players, is support for virtual reality.
