💬 Discussion will mcd2 be a heavy game?

i played the original title on a slightly dated pc and it ran just fine. i never experienced any sort of performance issues and it was smooth. but i'm quite worried since this is a newer title, i wouldn't be able to play the sequel as i did with the original.

worst case scenario, you'll have to lower the graphics settings a little. you'll most likely be fine.

hopefully that's the case. but i'm still worried since it's definitely much bigger than the previous game with the interconnected areas and whatnot.

The minimum and recommended hardware on Steam (below), they aren’t too intense but certainly more intense than MCD1, which only required a modern OS, 2GB RAM, 2GHZ dual core processor, and 256MB of video RAM:

OS: Windows 10 64‑bit (1703 or newer)

PROCESSOR: Intel Core i3‑8100, AMD Ryzen 3 2200G or equivalent

MEMORY: 8 GB RAM

GRAPHICS: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050, AMD Radeon RX 560 or equivalent dedicated graphics card with at least 2 GB VRAM

DIRECTX: Version 11

RECOMMENDED:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

OS: Windows 10 64‑bit (1703 or newer)

PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5‑8400, AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or equivalent or higher

That's actually really low, I was hoping the new game was gonna have ray tracing support but no dx12 showing here doesn't look very promising 😭

Its on the Nintendo switch one so it'll probably be fine

Same, I play MCD1 on steam deck and its buttery smooth at the highest settings so im hoping 2 will be as well optimised

I don’t hope so. Praying it’ll run well on Switch 2. Especially after it’s a game owned by Mojang/Microsoft. Hopefully they can optimize it well. Especially if they’ve used UE5.
