Here’s what hardware you need to run Horizon: Zero Dawn on your PC


Guerrilla Games has shared the official hardware requirements for the PC port of its Horizon Zero Dawn game. For a three-year-old title, the required hardware is not terrible.

In about a week, PC players will be able to experience the SF adventure in the world of Horizon Zero Dawn. Fans of good graphics are looking forward to seeing the visual splendor of this game in full 4K resolution and 60+ frames per second, but so far it has been questionable what kind of hardware will be needed for this. Fortunately, now, too, it has finally been deciphered.

The official requirements of the PC version have been announced, and although the game is run by the same Decima Engine that uses Death Stranding that came to PC in the middle of this month, the requirements are still somewhat milder, at least in the minimal range. Suffice it to say that the minimum is Intel's legendary 2500K from the beginning of 2011. That’s a good three years before the release of the PlayStation 4 for which this game was exclusive for three years!

But, just like in the case of Death Stranding, Horizon will play on the PC exclusively via Windows 10 because it uses only DirectX 12. And get ready for another "meaty" download of 100+ gigabytes.

Minimum:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K@3.3GHz or AMD FX 6300@3.5GHz
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 (3 GB) or AMD Radeon R9 290 (4GB)
  • RAM: 8 GB


Recommended:

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K@3.5GHz or Ryzen 5 1500X@3.5GHz
  • GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) or AMD Radeon RX 580 (8GB)
  • RAM: 16 GB
