So you’re planning on picking up the latest survival horror title from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, but not sure what kind of power you’ll need to run it well? Here is a run down of what you’ll need to run The Evil Within at recommended settings when the game launches on October 14th according to Bethesda.
- 64-bit Windows 7/Windows 8
- i7 with four plus cores
- 4 GBs RAM
- 50 GB of hard drive space*
- GeForce GTX 670 or equivalent with 4GBs of VRAM
- High Speed Internet Connection
- Steam account and activation
Unfortunately the post did not have information about the minimum requirements instead gave a warning to those whose rig isn’t up to the challenge of the twisted survival horror game, “If you’re trying to play with a rig with settings below these requirements (you should plan to have 4 GBs of VRAM regardless), we cannot guarantee optimal performance.”
The same can be said in regards to the console versions as The Evil Within, as with another Bethesda title “Wolfenstein,” the game requires a large amount of disk space for the mandatory install.
- Xbox One — 40 GB HDD Space
- PlayStation 4 — 40 GB HDD Space
- PlayStation 3 — 7 GB HDD Space
- Xbox 360 — 7 GB *Note: The Evil Within requires a mandatory install to the Xbox 360’s HDD or a USB 2.0 (or higher) flash drive*
So what do you think, does the “go big or go home” approach to the PC specs throw you off of purchasing the game for PC, or does the huge install too much for you’re limited spaced console?
