Last week, Crytek had released the official system requirements for its upcoming PC version of Ryse: Son of Rome, specifically targeting those who plan on running it at 4K resolution. Now, the developer has taken to Steam to assure pretty much 95% of the PC crowd that they won’t really need a 4GB video-RAM graphics card to perfectly run Son of Rome, thus revealing another set of minimum and recommended system requirements, which you can check out below.

Minimum

• CPU: Dual core with HyperThreading technology or quad core CPU
• Examples: Intel Core i3 2.8 GHz (3220T) or AMD Phenom II X4 3.2 GHz (945)
• Memory: 4 GB RAM
• GPU: DirectX 11 graphics card with 1 GB video RAM
• Examples: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 or AMD Radeon HD 7770
• OS: 64 bit Windows (Vista, 7, 8)
• HDD: 26GB

Recommended

• CPU: Quad Core or Six Core CPU
• Examples: Intel Core i5 3.3 GHz (2500k) or AMD FX-6350 3.9 GHz
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• GPU: DirectX 11 graphics card with 2 GB video RAM
• Examples: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660Ti or AMD Radeon 260x or 7850
• OS: 64 bit Windows (Vista, 7, 8)
• HD: 26GB

Even though Ryse: Son of Rome was heavily-marketed as an Xbox One exclusive (last year) Crytek had announced in early August that the hack-and-slash title will also be making its way to the PC. The game will be available for purchasing starting October 10th, and those who pre-order it via Steam will also net its official soundtrack. Besides the obvious graphical improvements, the PC version of Ryse: Son of Rome comes packed with all its previously-released downloadable packs – The Colosseum pack, The Mars’ Chosen pack, The Duel of Fates pack, and The Morituri pack. The Steam listing also tells us that PC gamers will receive instant access to two standalone character skins and the Ruins multiplayer map, which was initially only available for the Ryse: Son of Rome Day 1 Edition on the Xbox One.
