Following the announcement of the PC port of Yakuza Kiwami 2, Sega opened the Steam listing for the game, including the system requirements.

If you want to run the game on low settings targeting 30 FPS, you can run the game on fairly old hardware, but if you want native 1080p, 60 FPS and high setting, you’ll need a rather beefy pC.

This includes 16 gigabytes of RAM, a solid processor, and a GTX 1070 or Vega 56 video card. You can read the full details below.

MINIMUM:

    • OS: Windows 7 (64-Bit Required)
    • Processor: Intel Core i5-3470, 3.2 GHz / AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 3.1 GHz
    • Memory: 4 GB RAM
    • Graphics: GeForce GTX 660, 2 GB / Radeon HD 7870, 2 GB
    • DirectX: Version 11
    • Storage: 42 GB available space
    • Additional Notes: Pre-set Graphics Setting: Low, Target FPS: 30FPS (1080p at 75% render scale)

Recommended:

    • OS: Windows 10 (64-Bit Required)
    • Processor: Intel Core i7-6700, 3.4 GHz / AMD Ryzen 7 1700, 3.7 GHz
    • Memory: 16 GB RAM
    • Graphics: GeForce GTX 1070, 8 GB / Radeon RX Vega 56, 8GB
    • DirectX: Version 11
    • Storage: 42 GB available space
    • Additional Notes: Pre-set Graphics Setting: High, Target FPS: 60FPS @1080p

Since the game supports 4K resolution and unlimited frame rates, and promises deep visual options, you’re probably gonna be able to crank it up quite a bit further if your rig is strong enough.

This is quite relevant because it shows what it takes to run the Dragon Engine on PC. The Dragon Engine is the fairly new middleware used by the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio that debuted with Yakuza 6 and then was used for Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Judgment (which is also being considered for a PC port).

Since Yakuza 6 has not yet been released on PC, Yakuza Kiwami 2 will be the first game featuring the engine to launch on the platform.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
