There you go. Nothing too over-the-top, at least for just running the game. Obviously if you want to max everything out at a high framerate you’ll need some newer parts in your rig. In any case, the game is almost out. Nier: Automata will release for PlayStation 4 on March 7 and for PC on March 17.
