Tech specs for Wolfenstein: Youngblood and Cyberpilot revealed

Bethesda has released the tech specs and preload information for its upcoming Wolfenstein spin-offs: Youngblood and Cyberpilot. The PC specs for the games do not, in fact, run in tandem with one another. Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot requires a bit more oomph to get running, as VR games are historically more demanding.

First, let’s talk preload information. If you buy either of the games early, you’ll be able to download them on July 23 at 1 pm EDT, ahead of their July 26 launch. Depending on your region, the games can be played right at the stroke of midnight.

The minimum settings for Youngblood are nice and nonthreatening thanks to id Tech 6. You’ll need an AMD FX-8350 or Ryzen 5 1400, or an Intel i5-3570/i7-3770 for your CPU. On the graphics end, you’re looking at an Nvidia GTX 770, or, as the page says, an “AMD equivalent.” If you’re wondering what kind of AMD card matches the 770, you’ll find it with the R9 280 or 290.

On the recommended end, again, it’s not so terrible. For the CPU, the game asks for an AMD FX-9370/Ryzen 5 1600X, or an Intel i7-4770. Graphics wise, the game requires an Nvidia GTX 1060 or, once more, an “AMD equivalent” (the RX 480 or 580 should fit the bill).

Down below are the full specs, including the requirements for Wolfenstein: Cyberpilot — from the Bethesda press release.
