Sam Lake, the face of Max Payne, as a character in Alan Wake 2.

Alan Wake 2is out in a little under a week, and Remedy have just announced its PC system requirements. Things I learned: I probably can’t play Alan Wake 2.

The requirements were shared the traditional way, with an image you have to click to embiggen on X (formerly Twitter):

The minimum requirements, needed to run the game on “Low” graphics at 1080p at 30fps, asks for a GeForce RTX2060 or Radeon RX 6600 with an Intel i5-7600K or AMD equivalent and 16GB of RAM. For those writing my biography, I currently have a GeForce GTX 1660, so I guess I won’t be experiencing either thebig moods or bad gunfightsuntil I invest in an upgrade.

If you’re looking for a more pleasant 1080p on medium settings at 60fps, you’ll need a GeForce RTX 3070/Radeon RX6700 XT and a Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent. There’s a completely separate set of requirements if you want ray tracing, too.
