Currently we only know the specifications that it will have on the PC platform by default, since the company has not announced the requirements that it will have on Mac, in addition, we also do not know if it will arrive at the same time on both platforms or if it will take longer to reach that of Apple. From the official Twitter account (X), they announced that the requirements will be as follows:
Minimum | Half | Ultra | |
---|---|---|---|
Graphics preset | Weak | Half | Alto |
Resolution | 1080p | 1080p | 4K |
FPS | 30 frames per second | 60 frames per second | 60 frames per second |
Processor | Intel Core i3-10100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 | Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X | Intel Core i7-14700F / AMD Ryzen 9 5950X |
GPU | NVIDIA GTX 1050 / AMD RX 460 / Intel Arc A380 | NVIDIA RTX 2060 / AMD RX 6600 / Intel Arc A750 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 / AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT |

As we can see, the minimum configuration requires really basic components, so there should be no problem playing it on somewhat older systems, while in the medium configuration we see that it can be more complicated, not only because of the CPU and GPU you need, and the biggest problem would be the 16 GB of RAM you need in this quality.
On the other hand, in Ultra we can already see that it duplicates practically all aspects, it requires a processor and a graphics card of the latest generation while also requiring 32 GB of RAM, which at first can be quite excessive but which becomes more and more on the basic requirements that next generation titles require to play with maximum graphics.
