Despite using Unreal Engine 5, The First Descendant runs brilliantly on even low-spec PCs. Even if you have a 10+ year old PC around, there’s a good chance it will be able to run The First Descendant, albeit not with all the bells and whistles.

Here are the incredibly humble minimum system requirements for The First Descendant:

OSWindows 10, 64bit
CPUIntel i5 3570 or AMD FX-8350
RAM8GB

We tested The First Descendant during the beta tests on several different systems, and the performance was amazing. Not only did we get more than 60 FPS, but we also got 4K resolution with ray-tracing. The best thing about all this is that you don’t need a state-of-the-art PC to get any of these in The First Descendant

Here are the not-so-demanding recommended specs to run The First Descendant on PC:
