On PC, Resident Evil Requiem will be playable with visuals that surpass the game’s console releases. Note that on PC, Requiem includes advanced ray-tracing features and a unique path-tracing mode. For gamers with less powerful hardware, these features can be turned off. Without ray tracing, the game is more performant and still looks great.
