that some people might have like a another implication of this change could be whether or not this affects Hardware requirements and, I can say, for sure that we will be upping our minimum spec for the game one of the reasons we're upping the minimum spec is that, first of all the minimum spec GPU that we had listed there's no longer driver support for that, for that lowest spec GPU anymore so that's one reason you know Nvidia doesn't even support that GPU anymore so we're not we don't want to support that GPU anymore, the other reason is that the current low spec GPU was unreasonably low in the opinions of the team, the GTX 770 is a 10 year old card and the only reason we went with it was not for any reasonable or educated reason it was like we just kind of had it we just had it in the office so like this will be on minimum we'll just shoot for this, but now that we're putting a little bit more thought into it we think that supporting that card or anything around that is unreasonably low and we don't want to shoot for that anymore now I do have some preliminary new minimum specs preliminary minimum spec is going to be the GTX 1650, four core CPU eight gigabytes of RAM and sort of an SSD now this is kind of a weird requirement because technically speaking the game will probably run on a regular hard drive and not an SSD and I guess that's what minimum means so like I guess I a regular hard drive would still work but the thing is nanite greatly relies on write speed okay and so an SSD super recommended also by epic so we need to do a little bit more testing on this before we can be certain but at this stage we think that running on an SSD might be required but yeah anyway these are the specs that we have for now anything is subject subject to change you can let us know what you think about these specs in the comments below are they bananas who knows okay let us know this brings us to the next point is
