Game Freak Sets Beast of Reincarnation PC Specs for 1080p 40/60 FPS Ahead of August 3 Launch

1 articles · Updated · OC3D · Jul 31

Summary

  • August 3 is the release date for Beast of Reincarnation, and Game Freak has now posted updated PC requirements targeting 1080p at 40 FPS and 60 FPS.
  • GTX 1070 and RX 580 are the minimum GPUs, but both targets depend on upscaling—DLSS for supported Nvidia cards or FSR1 in performance mode.
  • RTX 3060 12GB and RX 6700 XT 12GB are the recommended cards for 1080p 60 FPS, and even that preset still requires DLSS or FSR3 performance upscaling.
  • 45GB of storage and 16GB of RAM keep the rest of the spec sheet relatively light, though higher resolutions will likely need stronger GPUs than the recommended list.
  • Game Freak’s new title is a post-apocalyptic action RPG set in Japan, marking a clear break from the studio’s Pokémon work with a PEGI 16 rating.
