Resident Evil 4 Remake is a little more than a month away but the wait still feels like an eternity. The game is launching on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC onMarch 24. Given how bad various recent PC ports have been, some PC players are nervous about the remake. Hopefully, this article should put these concerns to rest.

The official system requirements of the game have been revealed and they seem quite reasonable. Just like most modern games nowadays, Resident Evil 4 Remake will also require Windows 10 64-bit and DX12 API.

If you want 60 FPS at 1080p resolution, you will require a stronger PC. The RAM requirement is increased to 16 GB, and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7 8700 should be good as CPU. For GPU, you will need either a Radeon RX 5700 or GeForce GTX 1070.
