Remedy Entertainment’s Control spin-off doesn’t require powerful hardware, at least if we can trust the Finnish studio’s official list (and why shouldn’t we?).

Let’s see what kind of PC you’ll need for FBC: Firebreak:

Minimum system requirements – 1080p, 60 FPS, upscaler set to quality preset, low graphics:

• VRAM: 8 GB
• Free storage: 30 GB (SSD)

If you don’t care about ray tracing, you really don’t need anything too modern—but it’s worth noting that upscaling is mentioned for every tier. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen requirements laid out like this… FBC: Firebreak launches June 17 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. It’ll also be available in the PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate/PC Game Pass libraries.
