Outlast 2 by Red Barrels is set to release on April 25th, and if you’re planning on picking up the game for PC, you may be wondering whether or not your system can run everything properly.
Based on our experiences playing through the Outlast 2 demo last year, we noticed the game was a bit heftier than its predecessor in terms of graphics and material. Rather than remaining confined to a large asylum, Outlast 2 keeps players moving through varied environments.
In that, the game becomes even more terrifying, as you’re never quite able to get your bearings. This dynamic pacing can potentially put a strain on older PC rigs, though. So if you want to make sure your PC can run Outlast 2, be sure to read through the minimum and recommended system requirements listed down below.
