Direct Answer

The Blood of Dawnwalker system requirements list Windows 10 with DirectX 12, 16 GB RAM, and 60 GB of SSD storage for both minimum and recommended PC tiers. The current Steam and official-style minimum GPU baseline includes GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580, while recommended lists RTX 4060, Radeon RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580. Use the live store page before buying hardware because specs changed during pre-launch optimization.

The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Console players do not need PC specs, but should still watch for final performance mode details and day-one patch notes. Exact ultra settings, Steam Deck behavior, and final upscaler performance remain unconfirmed.

Minimum PC Specs

The collected Steam-facing requirements list a 64-bit Windows 10 setup with DirectX 12. CPU minimum is Intel Core i5-11400F or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. RAM is 16 GB, storage is 60 GB, and the additional notes point to SSD storage.

For graphics, the collected live store material lists NVIDIA GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 580 with 6 GB VRAM in its latest table. Some older or secondary material shows higher minimum GPUs, including RTX 3050, GTX 1070, RX Vega 56, or Intel Arc A580. Because the sources differ, use the official store page as the current reference and mark older tables as potentially outdated.

Recommended PC Specs

The current recommended tier lists Windows 10, DirectX 12, 16 GB RAM, and 60 GB SSD storage. The recommended CPU is Intel Core i7-11700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X. The recommended GPUs are NVIDIA RTX 4060, AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, or Intel Arc B580, with 8 GB VRAM in the collected Steam table.

Another collected article references a more demanding 1080p high target with RTX 5060 or RX 6800 XT and 12 GB VRAM. That appears to come from a different requirements sheet or earlier/later performance-target breakdown. Until the site reconciles every official table, present the live Steam-style minimum and recommended tiers first and label additional high-end presets not confirmed.

What PC Players Should Check

The biggest practical checks are RAM, SSD space, VRAM, and DirectX 12 support. The 60 GB SSD requirement matters because the game is built on Unreal Engine 5 and likely depends on fast storage for streaming. Players using older GPUs should compare against both the live minimum and any official post-launch preset notes.

Do not assume DLSS, FSR, frame generation, or ray tracing behavior from the basic requirements alone. One collected source says listed settings were measured without upscalers and that DLSS/FSR may help, but final settings menus and real gains remain unconfirmed. Treat benchmark pages as post-launch content, not pre-launch certainty.

What Remains Unconfirmed

Steam Deck verification, Linux support, exact 1440p and 4K presets, day-one performance, shader compilation behavior, upscaler settings, and final ultra requirements remain unconfirmed. Recheck these details against official patch notes and retail benchmarks after launch.
