As noted on the game's Steam store page, here are the minimum and recommended specs required to play this atmospheric third-person shooter:

	Minimum	Recommended
OS	Windows 10 64-bit	Windows 10 64-bit
CPU	AMD Ryzen 3 3100 or Intel Core i3-8300	AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel Core i5-12400
RAM	8 GB	16 GB
GPU	Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 570	Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT
DirectX Version	12	12
Storage	50 GB, SSD recommended	50 GB, SSD recommended

With the lowest suggested spec being a 1050 Ti, the game seems reasonably well-optimized. We assume this target spec aims for a 1080p 30 FPS performance at Low settings. This means even budget rigs can run the game reasonably well, which is a great thing from an accessibility standpoint. After all, this is Alone in the Dark's latest showcase, so the more players, the better.

Looking at the 16 GB RAM and RTX 2060 requirement, we assume that it is aiming for 1440p at 60 FPS for a smooth, crisp experience. This should allow Alone in the Dark to shine the brightest, whether players are exploring the eerie Decerto Manor or facing the horrors that lie within.

It should also be noted that while the Alone in the Dark system requirements suggest using an SSD, the game seems to be fully playable on an HDD as well. This means lower-budget gamers can also get in on the action. However, there will be some downsides to using an HDD, including longer load times and slower asset streaming.

Given that this is an Unreal Engine 4 game, this may potentially result in stuttering when moving between areas. But as per footage showcased by THQ Nordic, the slow-paced gameplay means it will not be too much of an issue. This is all players need to know about Alone in the Dark system requirements.

The game is set to arrive on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. For more on Alone in the Dark, check out the details on the two main protagonists.
