About this tag
The pc system requirements tag on WindowsForum.com covers the hardware specifications needed to run modern PC games, with a focus on recent and upcoming releases. Discussions analyze minimum and recommended specs for titles like Gears of War E-Day, Halo Campaign Evolved, Gothic 1 Remake, and Star Wars Zero Company. Common themes include the shift to Windows 11, DirectX 12, SSD storage, and ray-tracing-capable GPUs as new baselines. Threads examine how Unreal Engine 5 games demand more RAM and VRAM, and how legacy hardware struggles with newer titles. The tag also explores the implications of rising requirements for PC gamers, including the need for CPU, GPU, and memory upgrades to maintain performance at higher resolutions and settings.

Gothic 1 Remake launched on June 5, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and early legacy-hardware testing shows that its PC version is far less forgiving than the 2019 playable teaser suggested. The remake’s minimum GPU target has moved into RTX 2070 and Radeon RX 6700 XT territory...
Gothic 1 Remake launched on June 5, 2026 for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with Alkimia Interactive’s Unreal Engine 5 rebuild of Piranha Bytes’ 2001 RPG arriving alongside unusually demanding PC requirements and early independent benchmarks that put even modern GPUs under...

CD Projekt Red is raising the minimum PC requirements for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and its newly announced Songs of the Past expansion, due in 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Windows 11, DirectX 12, an SSD, and substantially newer CPU and GPU hardware becoming the new...

Just as promised, Ubisoft has now pulled back the curtain on Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and the timing matters as much as the game itself. The remake is no longer just a rumor that refused to die; it is a dated release, a confirmed platform lineup, and, perhaps most importantly for PC...
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced has gone from industry rumor to officially staged comeback, and Ubisoft has now pulled back the curtain on one of the most anticipated remakes in its catalog. With a July 9, 2026 launch locked for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the real surprise is...
Rainbow Six Siege remains one of the most instructive examples of how a live-service shooter can survive hardware change, platform drift, and years of content churn. When Ubisoft first published the game’s PC specs in 2015, the requirements looked modest even by then-current standards, and that...
Bungie’s newly published Marathon PC system requirements make a clear statement: the studio wants as many players as possible to access its extraction shooter at launch, and the hardware bar has been set deliberately low enough that most PCs built in the last six to nine years will be...
