Dying Light 2: Stay Human has received official system requirements. And they turn out to be moderate and quite high at the same time.
Dying Light 2: Stay Human is scheduled for release on 2 February for both consoles and PC after several postponements. Developer Techland has now announced the system requirements for the latter. And they are very different: Looking at the minimum and recommended specifications without ray tracing, the requirements are still relatively moderate. However, when the real-time ray calculation comes into play, you will need a real high-end computer.

Roughly speaking, a configuration like this costs around 2,000 to 2,100 euros at the moment. Not including peripherals like mouse, keyboard and monitor. The RTX 3080 alone is hardly available for less than 1,500 euros.
In the preview video, we reveal how much we like the open-world adventure:
DLSS could once again become a gamechanger
Dying Light 2 is said to benefit from Nvidia’s AI upscaler DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling). While it is not known if the system requirements take the technology into account, we assume that they do not. With DLSS activated, it should be possible to noticeably improve performance.
