For anyone who will be playing the hotly anticipated remake of Resident Evil 4 on PC, the hardware specs have now been unveiled. With the recent confirmation that Silent Hill 2 is being remade, by Bloober Team no less, not to mention the upcoming Dead Space, gamers can look forward to the revitalization of a slew of classic horror games. While some may think the gaming industry is experiencing something of a remake explosion with far too many out in the current market, others will feel the industry is in something of a golden age of remakes.

It's the latter crowd that is more excited about what's coming up. With the Resident Evil showcase going live recently, fans got a chance to see what Capcom has in store for its long-running survival franchise. There was more content shown off for the upcoming Resident Evil Village DLC, as well as news about RE:Verse, but perhaps what many gamers are most anticipating is the remake of the fourth installment. While it's releasing on consoles, there will also be a PC version, and some will want to know whether their setup will be able to run it.

According to the Steam page, Resident Evil 4 will require, at the very minimum, an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 or Intel Core i5-7500 processor to run. In terms of memory, 8 GB should suffice, along with a graphics card with 4 GB of VRAM, with a Radeon RX 560 or Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti being at the lower end of the hardware side of things. Obviously, when looking at the recommended specs, the requirements go up to some extent. PC players should ideally have 16 GB of RAM as well as a more modern GPU, though an Nvidia GTX 1000 series should still be enough.

In general, it doesn't look like the game will be too demanding. It's not something like the Silent Hill 2 remake which requires more on PC and recommends that users have Windows 11. Given that many gamers are still running on Windows 10, this is likely to be a point of contention for those who want to play Bloober's take on the iconic horror game on PC.

Given Resident Evil 4's stance as one of the best action horror games of all time, not to mention one of the most beloved entries in the RE series, it's not surprising that so many people are looking forward to this modern iteration of it. With the success of the RE 2 and RE 3 remakes, it's safe to say this next offering will be just as well received.

The full PC specs are as follows:

Minimum:

  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: Windows 10 (64 bit)
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 1200 / Intel Core i5-7500
