The visual fidelity of the remake appears to be beautiful and crisp, but the requirements aren't as stringent as you might expect. If you want to play the game at higher settings on 1080p with a 60 FPS target, you'll need a GTX 1070 with a Ryzen 5 3600. Capcom lists the AMD RX 6700 XT or Nvidia RTX 2070 as recommended GPUs if you want to enable ray-tracing.

Capcom has strangely not included any storage requirements in its specs list, but you have plenty of time to get an adequate SSD before the zombie third-person shooter arrives.

And there, you have all the recommended Resident Evil 4 System Requirements. If you're unsure what your system can run, head over to PCGameBenchmark to test your compatibility and see what you might need to upgrade to before the game arrives on the 24th of March, 2023.
