Way of the Hunter 2 Requirements — Minimum and Recommended PC Specs

Way of the Hunter 2 needs a 64-bit Windows 11 PC, 16 GB of RAM, and a mid-range graphics card. The Steam store page currently lists a GeForce RTX 2060 or Radeon RX 5600 XT for minimum and a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti or Radeon RX 7600 XT for recommended, with 38 GB of storage. Earlier pre-launch documentation listed a lighter 30 GB install and DirectX 11 at minimum, so use the store figures as the current target.

Minimum and Recommended PC Requirements

The current store listing is the authoritative source, and it has changed since Early Access. Both tiers call for Windows 11, 16 GB of RAM, and DirectX 12.

Component	Minimum	Recommended
OS	Windows 11 (64-bit)	Windows 11 (64-bit)
Processor	Ryzen 5 3600X / Core i5-9600K	Ryzen 5 7600X / Core i5-14600K
Memory	16 GB RAM	16 GB RAM
Graphics	GeForce RTX 2060 / Radeon RX 5600 XT	GeForce RTX 4060 Ti / Radeon RX 7600 XT
DirectX	Version 12	Version 12
Storage	38 GB	38 GB

• The jump from minimum to recommended is mostly about the graphics card and CPU, since memory stays at 16 GB on both tiers.
• System Requirements Lab lists about 6 GB of dedicated video memory for minimum and 8 GB for recommended, with shader model 6.0.
• Both tiers require a 64-bit processor and operating system, so a 32-bit install will not run the game.

Storage and DirectX Changes Since Early Access

The pre-launch FAQ from March 2026 and the current store page do not match exactly, which is expected for a game that left Early Access. The table below shows the differences so you can size your install correctly.

Spec	Pre-launch FAQ (March 2026)	Current store page
Minimum DirectX	Version 11	Version 12
Minimum storage	30 GB	38 GB
Recommended storage	30 GB	38 GB
CPU and GPU tiers	Same as current	Same as current

• Trust the store page for the current build, because the FAQ predates the full release.
• The extra storage reflects added maps, species, and gear rather than a larger engine download alone.

Performance Features and Platform Notes

The FAQ details the technical feature set, which is useful when planning a build.

• The game runs on Unreal Engine 5.7 with Nanite geometry and Lumen lighting.
• It supports DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4, plus resolution scaling, multiple quality presets, and Frame Generation.
• Ultrawide monitors are supported, though the developer noted possible minor issues at launch.
• Controls can be customised for keyboard and mouse, but controller layouts are fixed.
• The game is playable offline, and Steam Deck is not officially supported.
