The PC version of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is relatively undemanding. You can get by with a four-generation-old CPU and a three-generation-old GPU and play the game at 1080p.
The highly anticipated sequel to Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, confusingly called Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, is set to land on PC and Xbox on May 21 via Steam and Xbox Game Pass. Ninja Theory, the developers of the game, have now revealed the system requirements for PC https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2461850/view/4214882928332078201. The barrier to entry is surprisingly low, which is rare for a modern AAA title. On the other hand, Xbox Series S|X players will be stuck at 30 FPS for the foreseeable future. Starfield, one of Xbox’s flagship titles, will benefit from a 60 FPS mode in the coming weeks almost a year after its release.
| 1080p low | 1080p average | 1440p | 4K | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Ryzen 5 2600/Core i5-8400 | Ryzen 5 3600X/Core i5-9600 | Ryzen 5 5600X/Core i7-10700K | Ryzen 7 5700X/Core i5-12600K |
| GPU | Radeon RX 5700/GeForce GTX 1070/Arc A580 | Radeon RX 5700 XT/GeForce RTX 2070/Arc A580 | Radeon RX 6800 XT/GeForce RTX 3080/Arc A770 | Radeon RX 7900 XTX/GeForce RTX 4080 |
| VRAM | 6 GB | 8 GB | 8 GB | 12 GB |
Finally, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II will require at least 16 GB of system memory and 70 GB of disk space. Many developers often overlook Intel GPUs in their system requirements page, and it’s good to see that Intel Arc is included in the list. It remains to be seen how exactly the game will perform on Intel hardware.
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II should work fine on handhelds such as the Steam Deckles Asus ROG Ally and MSI Claw, but there is no official compatibility yet. It supports all AI-powered upscalers like DLSS 3, FSR 3, and XeSS 1.3, allowing you to get more frames on weaker hardware.
