Ninja Gaiden 4 system requirements: Minimum and recommended settings explored

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a long-awaited title, with the last mainline game in the series released over 13 years ago. The latest installment carries fairly modest system requirements for the PC platform. It's neither too demanding nor too light on the hardware, making it a great fit for mid-range setups.

Unlike most modern titles built on Unreal Engine 5, Ninja Gaiden 4 utilizes the proprietary PlatinumEngine. The gameplay so far has suggested solid optimization and fluid performance, though only time will tell how it holds up across different systems.

If you're a new player, it’s essential to know the minimum and recommended PC specifications for running the game before diving in, which we'll explore in this article.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is well-optimized for most mid-range PCs. The minimum required video memory for the graphics card is at least 6 GB of VRAM. Since most modern GPUs already meet or exceed this standard, a majority of players should have no trouble running the game smoothly.

The title is graphics-intensive yet not very demanding on the CPU, so older processors can still handle it well. However, it does require at least 16 GB of RAM for both the minimum and recommended specifications. An SSD is also highly recommended for smoother performance and faster load times.

Here are the system requirements for the game on PC:
