The Medium gives us an idea of what PC gamers will need for next generation games.
From the Bloober team The medium is scheduled to launch in less than 10 days. Soon, players from all platforms will be jumping out of their seats in fear of the game that changes reality. However, some information released today by Bloober is more important for anyone who wants to play on the PC. A complete and detailed list of PC requirements for The medium was released and shows exactly what players need to have on their equipment before starting the game in any quality.
Before getting to the heart of these specifications, here are some important things to keep in mind. First of all, these specifications are measured for the game at various resolutions, but a consistent frame rate of 30 fps. If you want to reach 60 fps or more, you will probably need to have a slightly more robust construction than the one listed.
To run the game in its minimal settings, players will need, well, something that isn’t that impressive. With a GTX 1650 Super or AMC R9 390X, you’ll be playing at 1080p. You’ll also need an Intel Core i5 6600 or any AMD Ryzen 5 processor. This is also the only level of quality that allows players to have just 8 GB of RAM to spare. Everything else requires a complete 16 GB kit.
In the recommended settings, things start to get a little hot. Players will need a GTX 1660 Super or AMD RX 5600 XT 6GB to play at 1080p. While this is not the biggest leap in GPU power, the demand for raw processing resources increases significantly. In each quality above the minimum, The medium requires an Intel Core i5 9600 or i7 9700, or if you are running on AMD, a Ryzen 7 3700X.
Jumping to the ultra settings, things start to get really demanding. However, remember that these requirements for The medium are for games at 30fps in 4K. Bloober Team is recommending an RTX 2080 8GB or RTX 3060 TI or an AMD RX 6800 16GB. Once you enter lightning tracking territory, however, these requirements become much more demanding on Nvidia’s side. If you are trying to play The medium at 1440p with radius tracking, you will need at least an 8 GB RTX 3060 TI or RTX 2080. If you are trying to take everything to the max and play in 4K with lightning tracking, naturally you will need the Nvidia RTX 3080.
Regardless of the quality you’re playing with, or if you’re playing with ray tracing, specifications for The medium claim that it will occupy only 50 GB of disk space. That said, you will probably want to store the game on an SSD for faster load times. The medium is scheduled to be released on January 28 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X | S.
