Dead Island 2 System Requirements

To run the Dead Island 2 on your PC you require at least an AMD Radeon RX 480 graphics card and AMD FX-9590 CPU or similar, and 70Gb of HD space.

Dead Island 2's system requirements are certainly a cut above the original, but not out of reach for gamers with older rigs. Provided you have an AMD FX-9590 CPU, a sizeable 10GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 480 graphics card, you will meet the Dead Island 2 minimum requirements. However, the developers recommend an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER with 16GB of memory and an Intel Core i9 9900K if you want the Dead Island 2 recommended specs.

If you want your zombies to truly shine by running Dead Island 2 on the highest settings, prepare yourself for a minimum Intel Core i5-12600KF with an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3070. Or, if you really want to go the extra mile and match the Dead Island 2 Ultra system requirements, Dambuster Studios recommend a beefy AMD Ryzen 9 7900 X with an AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT in order to reach 4k resolution at 60 FPS.
