Dark Souls 3 PC new system requirements announced

The official Japanese site for Dark Souls 3 (or the series in general, really) has put up some PC system requirements for the game. On Steam, the game has had a set of system requirements for a while, but it had often been speculated that these were placeholders.

Given that these are newer, and on the official site, they’re likely to be final. Here’s what FROM feel you’ll need to get Dark Souls 3 running, and get it running well. It’s already been confirmed to run at 60fps on PC.

Of slight concern to AMD users such as myself, there’s a prominent Nvidia logo lurking around the recommended specs on the Japanese site. As far as I know though, there’s no Gameworks business happening with Dark Souls 3.

Minimum:

• Intel Core i5 2500 3.3GHz / AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz
• 8 GB RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti / ATI Radeon HD 6870
• At least 20 GB available space

Recommended:

• Intel Core i7 2600 3.4 GHz / AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz
• 8 GB RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or equivalent [so probably an R9 390 in AMD world, then]
• At least 20 GB available space
