After much anticipation, The Day Before is finally about to be released. But before you pre-order the early access version, it’s better to find out whether your PC can run The Day Before or not.

The Day Before doesn’t require as much as other recent AAA releases, such as Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, but you’ll still need a decent PC to play it. Here are the system requirements to play The Day Before.

The Day Before minimum PC requirements

You’ll find below the minimum PC requirements to run The Day Before in low-quality settings. Unfortunately, developer FNTASTIC doesn’t specify whether or not you can get stable 60 FPS with it, so be wary that you can experience frame drops throughout more intense cutscenes or gameplay.

  • OS: Windows 10 64-Bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-8400K or AMD equivalent
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD equivalent
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Network: Broadband internet connection
  • Storage: 55 GB available space
  • Additional notes: SSD is preferred, but The Day Before supports HDD as well.

As expected, The Day Before requires some better specs for those who want to play it in high-quality settings. Once again, though, it’s unclear if players can get stable 60FPS with these exact PC specs.

  • OS: Windows 10 64-Bit
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-8700 3.2Ghz or AMD equivalent
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti or AMD equivalent
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Network: Broadband internet connection
  • Storage: 55 GB available space (SSD)
  • Additional notes: Unlike the minimum requirements, it seems like HDD isn’t recommended for those who want to play The Day Before in high-quality settings.

Is The Day Before coming to consoles as well?

A lot of players don’t own a gaming PC because they simply prefer playing games on consoles. While FNTASTIC plans to release a version of The Day Before to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, they’ll only arrive alongside the full release. The only way to play The Day Before in Early Access is on PC via Steam.
