From the first trailer, Senua\u2019s Saga: Hellblade 2<\/a> wowed us with its truly next-generation visuals, and now that it\u2019s here, we\u2019ll take a look at the minimum and recommended PC requirements to see if your rig is up to spec.<\/p>\n

We also have the medium and very high specifications listed to offer more variety \u2013 with the latter proving to be especially stunning \u2013 as well as what PC platforms Hellblade 2 is available to play on.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not sure if Hellblade 2 is for you, then be sure to check out our review round-up<\/a> to see what the critics have made of the game.<\/p>\n

You could also try it out for yourself for no additional cost, if you are already subscribed to Xbox Game Pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you do decide to take on Senua\u2019s Saga, then make sure you don\u2019t miss out on any precious Gamerscore with our Hellblade 2 achievements guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But lest your PC pass out from fear (or anticipation), let\u2019s see what it takes to run Hellblade 2.<\/p>\n

Which PC platforms can play Hellblade 2?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Senua\u2019s Saga: Hellblade 2 can be played on PC on Steam or the Xbox App<\/b>.<\/p>\n

If you like to keep all of your games in one place, then buying the game through Steam<\/a> may be for you.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to save a bob or two, though, you can also play the game through the Xbox App by purchasing it outright on the Microsoft Store<\/a>, or with Game Pass<\/a> if you are subscribed to the service.<\/p>\n

This also has the added benefit of being able to play Hellblade 2 on an Xbox with the same account, if you find yourself wanting to play on that system.<\/p>\n

Or you may want to if you find your PC is not quite up to the challenge of running Hellblade 2. Something you can find out with the minimum and recommended PC specs listed below.<\/p>

Minimum PC requirements for Hellblade 2<\/b><\/h2>\n

Surprisingly for such a graphical showcase, Helldivers 2 has fairly lowly minimum system requirements, requiring a GPU that is of an eight-year vintage in the case of the Nvidia GTX 1070. This will net you a low 1080P experience.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • CPU<\/b> \u2013 Intel i5-8400 | AMD Ryzen 5 2600<\/li>\n
  • Memory<\/b> \u2013 16GB RAM<\/li>\n
  • GPU<\/b> \u2013 Nvidia GTX 1070 | AMD RX 5700 | Intel Arc A580<\/li>\n
  • VRAM<\/b> \u2013 6GB<\/li>\n
  • Storage<\/b> \u2013 70GB (SSD required)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It\u2019s very important to note that an SSD is required, as Unreal Engine 5 needs fast storage in order to pull the massive amount of data found in Nanite meshes.<\/p>\n

    In all, the level of detail for models and textures is extremely high, so a mechanical platter hard drive would simply not be up to the task.<\/p>\n
