Dead Island 2 is only a few weeks away from release, and Deep Silver have finally shared more technical details about the PC version. This is one of the most anticipated titles of the year, and the gameplay footage revealed so far shows a technically impressive game. Here are the official Dead Island 2 System Requirements.
Dead Island 2 System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | High | Ultra | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Target RES/FPS | 1080P – 30 FPS | 1080P – 60 FPS | 1440P – 60 FPS | 4K – 60 FPS |
| OS | Windows 10 | Windows 10 | Windows 10 | Windows 10 |
| CPU | AMD FX-9590 Intel Core i7-7700HQ | AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Intel Core i9-9900K | AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Intel Core i5-12600KF | AMD Ryzen 9 7900X Intel Core i7-13700K |
| GPU | AMD Radeon RX 480 GeForce GTX 1060 | AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT GeForce RTX 2070 Super | AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT GeForce RTX 3070 | AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT GeForce RTX 3090 |
| Memory | 10 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 70 GB | 70 GB | 70 GB | 70 GB |
These requirements give us a good idea of what to expect with target resolutions and framerate. If you are looking to play the title at high settings at 1440p with a 60 FPS target, you’ll need something like a Ryzen 7 7700X paired with an RTX 3070. If you want to play at the Ultra preset at 4K, though, an RTX 3090 paired with a Ryzen 9 7900X is recommended.
If you’re fine with turning down settings, you can even play 1080p with a 30 FPS target on something like an RX 480 or the GTX 1060.
Apart from that, you need a total of 70 GB to install the title, and 16 GB of RAM is recommended in most cases.
