It's just a week away from Alan Wake 2 (https://www.destructoid.com/alan-wake-2-will-receive-free-significant-dlcs/)'s release, and we've finally gotten a look at the PC system requirements. It's a game that attempts to push graphical boundaries and competes with AAA titles from around the world, so it is no surprise that the requirements are quite steep.

Regardless of your settings, you'll need 16GB RAM and Windows 10/11. Like a few other AAA games released this year, you also require an SSD with at least 90GB free. As for the CPU, Remedy is asking for a Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent for all settings except for the lowest where an Intel i5-7600K or AMD equivalent can be used.

The lowest settings will have you playing at 1080p at 30 FPS. To hit this, you'll need a GeForce RTX 2060 or a Radeon RX 6600. You'll also need 6GB VRAM. For a balanced experience that runs at 1440p at 30 FPS, ensure you have a GeForce RTX 3060 or a Radeon RX 6600 XT. The game also requires 8GB of VRAM.
Ultra settings are for enthusiasts because you'll need a monster of a machine to pull it off. With ultra settings, you can play at 4K at 60 FPS. You will also need 12GB VRAM and a GeForce RTX 4070 or a Radeon RX 7800 XT.
There are also settings for ray tracing included. Anyone hoping to get maximum ray tracing requires an RTX 4080 GPU. It's a big ask, but it may be worth it, as Control demonstrated Remedy's excellent use of (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-control/)ray tracing.
The next chapter in Alan Wake's story is almost upon us, but he won't be coming alone. This time around there's a second protagonist, Saga Anderson, who has a nose for sniffing out a mystery.
