Capcom has revealed system requirements for Resident Evil Village on PC along with additional details on graphics settings.

This allows for a “Performance-focused” setting at 1080p/60 FPS though the frame rate could decrease in “heavy load situations.”

It also recommends an RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 6700 XT for ray tracing. Recommended requirements include an Intel Core i7-8700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with 16 GB of RAM.
