The Stray Blade minimum PC specs you need

- OS: 64-bit Windows 10
- Processor: AMD FX-9590 or equivalent or Intel Core i7-6700
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: Radeon RX 480 (8192 MB) or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4096 MB)
- DirectX: Version 12
- Storage: 30 GB available space
It seems like 8GB is the new minimum memory you need in today's top-of-the-line games. You'll also need quite a beefy graphics card with either the 8192 MB Radeon RX 480 (around £100 on eBay) or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4096MB (£80-100). If you can't afford this, you may want to explore the realm of Skyrim before you jump into Stray Blade. You don't need a monster of a PC to play it, and Bethesda's RPG is still impressive to this day.
- Stray Blade will not be releasing day-and-date on Xbox Game Pass.
