If you’re unfamiliar with CD Projekt RED’s PC game offerings, they can be easily summed up with the phrase “system intensive.” The Witcher 3 PC requirements look to continue that notion, as the official Twitter account has released the benchmarks required to both run the game at a bare minimum, and to run it optimally.

With all said and done, The Witcher 3 PC requirements look to reflect the high bar of quality that the series have come to known. They are decidedly elite to reflect the graphical capabilities that the PC is offered. It’s a breath of fresh air for many PC gamers who are used to unoptimized releases, including the likes of many Assassin’s Creed games, The Evil Within, Titanfall and so much more. For those who don’t have the rigs provided to run such a game, the PS4 and Xbox One versions should still look as visually stunning as possible.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is scheduled for a May 19th release for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
