Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a medieval setting, moving through spaces built for exploration. Play is presented from a third person view. That openness is what costs performance. A Plague Tale: Requiem has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. 9 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion.
Why A Plague Tale: Requiem is demanding
A Plague Tale: Requiem asks a lot of the graphics card. It targets 8 GB, GeForce RTX 3070/Radeon RX 6800 XT, which our tables put above the RTX 3060, so A Plague Tale: Requiem tends to define the machine you build rather than fit around one you own. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. A Plague Tale: Requiem takes about 55 GB of disk space, SSD specified. A 64 bit version of Windows is required. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so A Plague Tale: Requiem at the floor and A Plague Tale: Requiem at the recommended tier are not the same experience. A Plague Tale: Requiem calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run A Plague Tale: Requiem?
A Plague Tale: Requiem is one of the more demanding games on PC. To reach its recommended tier you'll want a 8 GB, GeForce RTX 3070/Radeon RX 6800 XT-class graphics card, with 4 GB, GeForce GTX 970/Radeon RX 590 the floor just to launch at minimum settings. Plan for a recent high-end GPU rather than a mainstream one.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Below the bar | 0.77x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.43x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.19x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Below minimum |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Below minimum |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Below minimum |
