The next entry in the Dying Light franchise is almost here, bringing back Kyle Crane as the protagonist for another survival horror action experience. Developer Techland has now detailed what sort of hardware it wants PC players to have before jumping into Dying Light: The Beast.
Interestingly, other than the usual split between minimum and ultra, the studio has even offered separate specifications for desktop and laptop players.
The desktop PC requirements come first, which want rather tame hardware for running the game at 1080p 30FPS:
| Minimum | Recommended | High | Ultra | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance | 1080p 30FPS | 1440p 60FPS | 4K 60FPS | 4K 60FPS |
| Graphic Settings | LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH | ULTRA (RT w/ Frame Generation) |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT / Intel Arc A750 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT / Intel Arc B580 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti / AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 / AMD Radeon RX 9070 / Intel Arc B580 |
| GPU Memory | 6GB | 8GB | 12GB | 12GB |

| OS | Windows 10 or newer | Windows 10 or newer | Windows 10 or newer | Windows 10 or newer |
| Storage | 70 GB SSD | 70 GB SSD | 70 GB SSD | 70 GB SSD |
Next lands the laptop PC requirements, which helpfully even detail the specific GPU wattage required to hit the minimum targets:
| Minimum | Recommended | High | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance | 1080p 30FPS | 1080p 60FPS | 1440p 60FPS |
| Graphic Settings | LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 80W+ Laptop / AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 or 360 / Intel Core Ultra 7 258V with Arc 140V | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop / AMD Ryzen AI 9 370 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop / AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 |
| GPU Memory | 6GB | 8GB | 8GB |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-12450H / AMD Ryzen 5 6600H / Intel Core Ultra 7 258V with Arc 140V | Intel Core i7-12700H / AMD Ryzen 7 6800H | Intel Core i7-14700HX / AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX |
| RAM | 16GB | 16GB | 32GB |
| OS | Windows 10 or newer | Windows 10 or newer | Windows 10 or newer |
| Storage | 70 GB SSD | 70 GB SSD | 70 GB SSD |
Techland also confirmed that the PC version will ship with raytraced global illumination and reflections. Support for ultra-wide monitors, HDR, and dynamic resolution will be available too. Moreover, FSR 4, DLSS 4, and Intel XESS 2, all their frame generation options, as well as latency reduction tech like AMD Antilag 2, Nvidia Reflex 2, and Intel XE Low Latency, will be present as optimization features at launch.
Dying Light: The Beast launches across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on September 19. An Xbox One and PlayStation 4 launch is also planned for later.
