Zombie parkour shenanigans are coming back in full force as Dying Light 2 – or Dying Light 2 Stay Human, as the game is officially named – is finally gearing up for its release later this month after quite the wait. And if you’re wondering about the Dying Light 2 PC requirements, you’ve come to the right place.
One important thing to keep in mind here is ray-tracing, as while that will make the game look a lot better, it will put a lot onto your PC and some more basic ones will really struggle to handle it – especially in Dying Light 2. As you’ll see, there are settings that have it on or off – you will still be able to play, but the game may not look as shiny for you!
But that being said, even the basic CPU settings are a bit more taxing than we expected so make sure you know your PC can handle it before buying the game. And it’s worth noting that, if you do want ray-tracing on, you’ll only be able to achieve that with an Nvidia GPU. To see what your system can manage, check out all the different Dying Light 2 PC requirements below!
