Detroit: Become Human PC specs increased just before its release

Detroit: Become Human has had its PC requirements heavily upgraded in the hours before its release on the Epic Games Store, up from the pretty damn low requirements to much higher PC specs required to play.

Quantic Dream revealed the original PC specs which were considerably lower than the new specs, requiring only an Intel Core i5-2400 (or equivalent) processor, 4GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 with 2GB of VRAM. The recommended specs were calling for an Intel Core i7-2700K (or equivalent), 12GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 1080 (or equivalent).

But the new minimum PC specs call for an Intel Core i7-3770, 8GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 780 or Radeon HD 7950 -- much higher than the previous minimum specs. The recommended PC specs however, have come down -- strangely, with a Core i5-8400, 16GB of RAM (this is higher) and GTX 1060 or RX 580 (versus a GTX 1080).

Detroit: Become Human is now available from the Epic Games Store.
