Operating system and security
Minimum: current Windows 10 64-bit; recommended and RT: current Windows 11 64-bit. Windows 10 requires 22H2 or newer for the security requirement. The official security page requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for online modes. DirectX 12, broadband and AMD/Intel AVX support are listed; Intel Arc requires Resizable Bar. Laptop GPUs with similar names are not covered by the desktop table.
Read the performance target correctly
The publisher’s recommended target is 90 FPS in Multiplayer at High settings; the RT category targets high-quality 4K upscaled ray tracing. These are publisher targets, not measurements by this site. Support names i7-8700 while the PC blog names i7-8700K. Both are shown rather than silently resolving the difference. Patches need additional free space beyond the 115GB launch install.
