The free demo runs on all five rows of the matrix, so it doubles as a performance test on your own setup before launch day — the PC rows use the same download pipeline as the full game, and the console rows install straight from each store. If your rig only just clears the minimum tier, expect the demo to hover near that 30 FPS listing target rather than the recommended one.

Minimum listing1080p Low at 30 FPS

Steam lists this target with upscaling and notes the frame rate may drop under excessive load.

Recommended listing1080p Medium at 60 FPS

Steam lists this target with upscaling (DLSS 4.5 / FSR 3.1) and the same load caution.

Steam states that specifications are subject to change without prior notice, and that an SSD is required. These are listing requirements, not independent benchmark results.

How to read these requirements

The two tiers differ mainly in the graphics card. Both tiers ask for the same Windows 11, 16 GB of RAM, and 50 GB of storage on an SSD, so the practical upgrade question is the GPU: a GeForce GTX 1660 or Radeon RX 5500 XT sits at the minimum, while the recommended tier starts at a GeForce RTX 2060 Super or Radeon RX 6600. Processors step up modestly from an Intel Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 3 3100 to an i5-10400 or Ryzen 5 3600.

The frame-rate targets depend on upscaling. Steam’s notes state that Super Resolution is enabled via NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 3.1, and that the published performance estimates were made with DLSS 4.0 and FSR 3.1. Without upscaling, the listing does not promise those frame rates. The page also warns that the frame rate may drop during periods of excessive load, and that the specifications can change without prior notice.

Two details are easy to miss. First, only Windows 11 appears in the OS row — no Windows 10 option is listed. Second, an SSD is called out as required rather than recommended, which matters if you are still running the game off a spinning drive.

What this page does not confirm yet

The storefront matrix covers only what first-party listings showed on August 29, 2026. Cells marked “Not confirmed” mean no listing this site verified documents that value yet — for example, digital pre-order availability was confirmed in writing for PlayStation Store (US) and Steam, while the Xbox, Nintendo, and Epic cells await their own checks. Console-side technical specifications and independent benchmark numbers are likewise unpublished, so the pending cards below hold those slots.

Pending — not yet confirmed

Console technical specs: not published

CAPCOM has not published a PS5 / Xbox Series X|S / Switch 2 technical spec sheet in the material verified so far. This slot fills when an official source appears.
