When a big new game comes out there's always the all-important specs to consider for PC players, and now Machine Games has revealed the specs and features for the PC version of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
To start with, here are the basic specs, both minimum and recommended, that you'll need:
Minimum

Additional Requirements: Steam account and broadband internet connection for activation and installation AMD GPU drivers no longer support Windows 8.1
On top of this we also know that the game has been built on idTech 6, allowing for uncapped frame-rate, and Machine Games gives us a few of the aspect ratios too, including 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, 21:9, and more. Of course there are many other features too, such as the expected 4K resolution support and a field of view slider as well.
If you're all about the advanced visual settings and tweaking them to your heart's delight, here's the list of what you can change:
Lights
Shadows
Directional Occlusion
Reflections
Decals
Motion Blur
Image Streaming
Volumetric Quality
Decal Filtering
Deferred Rendering
Chromatic Aberration
Depth of Field
Resolution Scaling
The post also talks about Vulkan. "When we started development of Wolfenstein II, the choice of graphics API for PC was a simple one. DOOM had already set the stage for what could be done with Vulkan and we wanted to take it to the next level."
"Using Vulkan when developing has allowed us to utilise the power of AMD's VEGA graphics chips in ways that were not possible before, giving us fine grained control over the performance and feature set of the GPU without having to sacrifice artistic intent. Combined with the flexibility of AMD's hardware, Vulkan gives us the artistic freedom to deliver Wolfenstein without compromise."
Does your PC have the hardware to deal with Wolfenstein II?
