    Since they’re locking Consoles to 30 fps I’m worried their Recommended settings are using that as baseline as well.

    If that’s the case I’ll wait for some IT hero with too much free time to upload their optimisation mod to nexus 😂

      It does make me wonder what awful things they’re getting that poor creation engine to do.

      To be fair I remember Fallout 3 being a bit of a nightmare to play at launch too.

      Based on the recommended specs, it likely won’t run, at least not without some serious compromises.

    Damn, these are jacked specs. Literally just upgraded in January from my old ryzen 2600x and 1070ti combo to a 6700xt and ryzen 5600x. My new GPU doesn’t even meet the recommended specs wtf lol.

      I have an RTX 30-series GPU and its only half of the minimum GPU, I’m hoping its a 1440p spec list given the Series S version will be 1440p.

      If it can run at 1440p on the XS|S, it should run on my RTX-3050 (laptop 85W).

      There’s no way those specs are right. Their games are notoriously CPU dependent, I refuse to believe a R5 3600 can get stable 60fps gameplay out of this engine but a 6700xt cannot.

      But if they’re right, there’s gonna be a lot of complaints surrounding optimization around launch, and the 30fps BS on console will make a lot more sense.

      Edit: In fact, your GPU does meet recommended spec, because it outperforms the “recommended” 2080 in every benchmark I’ve seen, and has 50% more VRAM. Ignore this garbage, wait for reviews.
