Current picture
What is known now
Each section keeps its scope narrow so a high-level announcement is not mistaken for a complete launch specification.
Official performance claim
The product page names upgraded visuals and performance with improved textures, foliage, lighting, rendering, and ray tracing.
PC requirements pending
The Steam page warns that requirements will change with the September 29 update. Legacy minimum/recommended specifications are not Remastered specifications.
Console modes pending
No complete official table for resolution, frame rate, ray tracing, or quality/performance modes is available for PS5, Xbox Series, or Switch 2.
Benchmarks need a fixed version
Post-launch tests should name hardware, drivers, settings, scene, save, game patch, measurement method, and duration.
Action guide
What to do next
- Step 1
Do not buy hardware from placeholder specs
Wait for final official requirements and independent tests on the release build.
- Step 2
Match the test to your platform
PC GPU results cannot establish console modes; Series X results cannot establish Series S behavior.
- Step 3
Troubleshoot from a clean baseline
After launch, separate game settings, drivers, overlays, mods, save state, thermal limits, and patch changes.

Common mistakes
Avoid these wrong assumptions
Copying 2015 or 2022 requirements
Steam explicitly indicates requirements will change for the Remastered update.
Quoting trailer resolution
A video encode cannot establish internal resolution, frame rate, or platform mode.
