Life Is Strange: True Colors PC Requirements Revealed

The week will end with the newest Life is Strange title, True Colors, coming at us. This one is somewhat different than its predecessors as it’s being released as a single full retail release as opposed to episodically, but what we’ve seen of the game still oozes the same quirky charm with a hint of dark things hidden beneath that has made the franchise popular. It’s coming to a variety of platforms, including the PC, and now we know what kind of rig you’ll need.
