In a recent update to the game’s Steam store page, the PC system requirements for Capcom’s latest installment in the long-running survival horror franchise Resident Evil 7: Biohazard have been revealed. The title, which will be available on PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4 consoles on January 24th, 2017 marks a drastic change in tone, with the developers promising the game will “return to the survival horror roots” of the franchise’s youth. With an all-new first-person player perspective and game mechanics which are clearly inspired by modern survival horror titles such as Amnesia and Outlast, it is definitely easy to get excited about Resident Evil 7.

The developers were also sure to add some additional notes to these specifications which indicate that the minimum requirements will be targeting 1080p, 30FPS, while the recommended will be targeting 1080p, 60 FPS.
