Dead Island 2 all PC requirements

Given below are the Minimum, Recommended, High, and Ultra system requirements that you will need to run Dead Island 2 on your PC:

1) Minimum Requirements (1080p, 30 fps)

• CPU: AMD FX-9590 or Intel Core i7 7700HQ
• RAM: 10GB
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480 or GeForce GTX 1060
• Storage: 70GB

2) Recommended Requirements (1080p, 60 fps)

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i9 9900K
• RAM: 16GB
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT or GeForce RTX 2080 Super
• Storage: 70GB

3) High Requirements (1440p, 60 fps)

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X or Intel Core i5 12600KF
• RAM: 16GB
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT or GeForce RTX 3070
• Storage: 70GB

4) Ultra Requirements (4K, 60 fps)

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X or Intel Core i7 13700K
• RAM: 16GB
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT or GeForce RTX 3090
• Storage: 70GB

Furthermore, Dead Island 2's developers have confirmed that the game will support AMD's FSR2 and FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening. Interestingly, there was no mention of Nvidia's DLSS, but the title's FAQ page does state that it won't support any performance-boosting software, so many fans are of the belief that it’s probably referring to DLSS.

Nevertheless, it’s going to be rather odd if the game does eventually end up supporting AMD's FSR2 but not DLSS, as both of these features are technically performance-boosting tools.

Additionally, Dead Island 2 will be dropping with a three-player co-op mode as well. Unfortunately, those looking to play with friends on a different platform won't be able to do so as the title doesn't support cross-play. With the title slated for an official release later this month, it will be quite interesting to see just how well franchise fans receive the game.
