Ninja Theory has announced the Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 PC requirements, so we now know what kind of a machine you'll need to run the game.
As you can probably imagine if you've seen any of the trailers or pre-release materials, Hellblade 2 is a pretty graphically impressive game, and as such, you're going to need an equally impressive PC to run it at high settings.
Playing the game at low settings and a 1080p resolution should be achievable for most PC gamers, though, and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 will support DLSS 3, FSR 3, and XESS 1.3, so you've got options if your machine won't cut it.
Here's a full list of the PC specs you'll need to play Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 at various settings. All of these presets will require at least 16GB of RAM, as well as a 64-bit installation of either Windows 10 or 11 and 70GB of SSD space (no HDDs here).
Minimum - Low at 1080p
- CPU: Intel i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070, AMD Radeon RX 5700, or Intel Arc A580
- VRAM: 6GB
Medium - Medium at 1080p
- CPU: Intel i5-9600 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, or Intel Arc A580
- VRAM: 8GB
Recommended - High at 1440p
- CPU: Intel i7-10700k or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, AMD RX 6800 XT, or Intel Arc A770
- VRAM: 8GB
Very high - High at 4K
- CPU: Intel i5-12600k or AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XTX
- VRAM: 12GB
As you can see, this isn't going to be an easy game to run at higher settings if you're still running a card or a processor from a few years ago.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is the upcoming sequel to 2017's grim action-adventure game Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
Announced back in 2019, the game will once again revolve around Senua, a Pictish warrior who must grapple with demons both internal and external as she traverses the Icelandic wilderness.
You can check out Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 on PC and Xbox Series X|S when it launches on May 21st. It's also part of the Xbox Game Pass lineup for this month.
