Resident Evil 2 System Requirements

The Resident Evil 2 system requirements have changed since the game's initial release, due to an upgrade patch that introduced ray tracing into the game.

Now, the Resident Evil 2 minimum system requirements demand that you have Windows 10 or 11 installed on your gaming PC. You'll also need a DirectX 12 compatible GPU, with developer Capcom asking for an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 460 at least. Thankfully, CPU specs remain the same, with an Intel Core i5 4460 or AMD FX 6300 proving more than enough when backed up by 8GB of RAM. Finally, don't forget to clear 26GB of space from your storage device of choice.

Those looking to overcome the Resident Evil 2 recommended system requirements will need to arm their rig with an Intel Core i7 3770 or AMD FX 9590 processor. While you won't need any additional RAM, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 480 graphics card will be necessary.
