That a PC game has minimum requirements is something we have all known forever. It is an enumeration of a series of components that our computer must have and that if we do not overcome it, it is very certain that we will not obtain a sufficiently enriching experience to be worth spending a penny. The problem is that in the case of The Unexplored Legacy of Thieves it was Sony who decided not to give options those who have too obsolete equipment.
Should I buy it or not?
Another reason PC developers have told us what the minimum lifelong game requirements are is to avoid problems with users. If they were not well printed on the box (when sold in physical format) or visible in the product description of the digital store, anyone who couldn’t make it work on their team could request a refund or take refuge in a lawsuit even more prejudicial to the interests of the manufacturer, in this case Sony.
Anyway, let’s remember what the minimum requirements of the game are:
- Operating system: Windows 10 64 bit
- Processor: Intel i5-4330 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) or AMD R9 290X (4GB)
- DirectX: version 12
- Storage: 126 GB of available space
Now, we all know clearly what those minimum requirements of The Unexplored Legacy of Thieves but if we don’t, why doesn’t Sony let us try and see if we can play it somehow? This is precisely what is causing some controversy in the community, since a small number of players they meet a complete inability to launch the game in cases where they barely meet any of the requirements imposed by the Japanese.
What is happening?
Thus, in some forums (Steam, Reddit, etc.) they offer testimonials from users who have purchased the game and do not meet one of all the minimum requirements. One of these states that it is compliant with the operating system, the amount of RAM, even the graphics card, but the notice that the processor “is not supported” by the game skips to the eyes. This buyer thinks it would work fine but at the moment you can’t verify it because the execution block imposed by Sony is irremovable.
For example, this minimum processor that asks us The Unexplored Legacy of Thieves It belongs to a generation of Intel launched on the market in the last quarter of 2013, so it is about to be nine years old. This date could be a good barometer of which teams can still run it.
For now, this ban remains in place. you will not be able to enjoy the game if you do not have, above all, this processor than the Japanese demand in the minimum requirements. So if you find yourself in the same situation and you bought the game, remember that if you haven’t completed two hours of gameplay and 14 days have not passed since you bought it, you are entitled to a full refund of the amount you spent.
And seen how Sony has become, it will surely cost you more to think about buying it when your PC has been upgraded to a more powerful model. You do not think ?
