Until Dawn PC Remake: Accessible Horror for All Rigs

Sony and Ballistic Moon have unveiled the system requirements for the highly anticipated PC remake of Until Dawn, the cinematic horror game that’s been a PlayStation 4 exclusive since 2015. Fans of spine-chilling narratives can sigh relief – the game’s requirements are surprisingly modest, ensuring a wide range of PCs can run this updated classic.

Scalable Performance Across the Board

The remake offers four tiers of performance, catering to various hardware configurations:

• Low (720p at 30 fps): Even older rigs with an Intel i7-4790K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X paired with a GTX 1660 or RX 470 can join the fright fest.
• Medium (1080p at 60 fps): Stepping up to an i5-8600 or Ryzen 7 2700X with an RTX 2060 or RX 6600XT delivers a smooth full HD experience.
• High (1440p at 60 fps or 4K at 30 fps): The same CPU requirements as medium, but paired with an RTX 3080 or RX 6800XT for crisper visuals.
• Ultra (4K at 60 fps): For the ultimate experience, an i7-11700K or Ryzen 7 5800X3D coupled with an RTX 3080 Ti or RX 6900XT is recommended.

All configurations require a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 OS, with storage needs fixed at 70 GB (preferably on an SSD for higher settings).

PC-Exclusive Enhancements

The PC version is more than just a straight port. It boasts several enhancements, including:

• Support for NVIDIA DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3 upscaling
• Ray tracing capabilities
• Uncapped frame rates
• Ultrawide monitor support
• Full DualSense gamepad integration

Release and Availability

Mark your calendars: Until Dawn’s PC remake launches on October 4, 2023, via Steam and the Epic Games Store. PlayStation 5 owners can also look forward to experiencing the enhanced version on the same date.

Interestingly, PC players must link their account to the PlayStation Network to complete the game, further bridging the platform gap.

With its scalable performance and cutting-edge features, Until Dawn’s PC debut promises to bring its unique brand of interactive horror to a whole new audience without the need for bleeding-edge hardware.
