The Dying light PC recommended and minimum specs have been released on Steam, and these goes beyond even the recommended specs for Assassins Creed Unity requiring an R9 290 or GTX 780 and 16GB of System memory to run at the highest settings.There is no doubt that the Dying light is a very pretty game, just look at the screenshots and videos. The question now is if these recommendations are over-estimated, or under estimated like Assassin's Creed Unity where even the most beastly of machines had issues.
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows® 7 64-bit / Windows® 8 64-bit / Windows® 8.1 64-bit
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-2500 @3.3 GHz / AMD FX-8320 @3.5 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM DDR3
Hard Drive: 40 GB free space
Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 670 / AMD Radeon™ HD 7870
Sound: DirectX® 10
Now witness true horror in the form of the Dying Light “recommended” specs.
RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows® 7 64-bit / Windows® 8 64-bit / Windows® 8.1 64-bit
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4670K @3.4 GHz / AMD FX-8350 @4.0 GHz

The Dying Light will release at the end of January and may be one of the most demanding games we have ever seen. The question now is how good will it look on consoles? or is the PC version of this game badly optimised?
