Resident Evil Village PC specs and requirements

After enjoying massive success with the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, Capcom is ready to return with an all-new sequel in its award-winning survival horror franchise. Resident Evil Village is a direct follow-up to the events of Resident Evil 7, itself a departure from the classic series formula. Resident Evil Village will be a cross-platform affair on consoles, though the definitive version of the game is likely to arrive on PC.

While Resident Evil Village is running on the same engine that powered the previous entry in the series, it brings a host of new graphical upgrades and features. The standout addition will be ray-traced reflections and shadows. These next-gen visuals make Village the best-looking game of the series to date, but will require some beefy hardware to run at high frame rates. To make sure your rig is up to the challenge, we’ve assembled a list of the minimum and recommended PC specs for Resident Evil Village.
