Gray Zone Warfare system requirements: All minimum and recommended specs listed

Gray Zone Warfare is looking like a gorgeous adventure in the tactical extraction shooter genre, with some of the most detailed environments and animations yet.

Thanks to known information from those in earlier playtests, players had knowledge that the game had some very steep graphics requirements beforehand. Now we know exactly just what is recommended and what are the minimum specifications for the game to run properly.

Gray Zone Warfare is made in Unreal Engine 5, so it uses the most recent and advanced graphical fidelity techniques if you’d like to run the game at very high levels. Be prepared to either run the game on low settings or upgrade your PC if you want it to be as pretty as possible.

As an early-access title, however, Gray Zone Warfare will likely be optimized and updated more and more over time. If the game does not run well on release, it should be optimized quickly.
