Square Enix has confirmed the PC system requirements of the updated version of Nier Replicant, and you don’t have to worry about upgrading your rig just for this game.

As Yoko Taro’s previous game had its system requirements confirmed on Steam, let’s quickly take a look at what Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 will need.

Minimum system requirements, which should run the game on 720p with 60 frames per second:

• Operating system: Windows 10 x64
• Processor: Intel Core i5-6400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X, or better
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon R9 270X, or better
• DirectX: DX11
• Free storage to install the game: 25 GB
• DirectX compatible sound card

…and while the system requirements don’t mention it, the game’s Steam page confirms the usage of Denuvo DRM (which will increase the system requirements without a doubt), a constant Internet connection is recommended for „calling home”

Minimum system requirements, which should run the game on 1080p with 60 frames per second:

• Operating system: Windows 10 x64
• Processor: Intel Core i5-6400 or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X, or better (that is not a typo; they indeed listed the same CPU requirements!)
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, or better
• DirectX: DX11
• Free storage to install the game: 25 GB
• DirectX compatible sound card

Yusuke Saito, the producer of Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139, said that this is a „version up” from the original 2010 release, not calling it a remake or a remaster, which is why the system requirements seem to be far lower than the norm nowadays. Yet, the steam page mentions „masterfully revived visuals,” which goes against all this.

Nier Replicant ver.1.22474487139 will launch in Japan on April 22, followed by the Western release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam) on April 23. This game can be indeed called a re-release then.
