With the highly anticipated release of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 just around the corner, developer Ninja Theory has unveiled the PC system requirements for the game.

Here’s a breakdown of the system requirements:
- Minimum: (Low graphics preset, 1080p)

Ninja Theory emphasizes the importance of a high-fidelity experience for maximum cinematic immersion, recommending players opt for the ‘High’ graphics preset. The game features meticulously recreated real locations in Iceland and detailed character models, promising an immersive journey through Senua’s world.
Furthermore, the studio suggests using a headset to enhance the immersive experience for players. While the system requirements do not specify a target framerate, the use of DLSS 3, FSR3, or XESS 1.3 can help achieve higher framerates or resolutions.
Although Hellblade 2 on Xbox Series X/S will be capped at 30 fps, the PC version offers the flexibility for higher framerates. Ninja Theory’s decision to lock the console version at 30 fps was intentional, aiming to deliver a consistent experience across platforms.
