Steam does not attach a target resolution, frame rate or graphics preset to these tiers. This page therefore does not promise that the minimum tier means 60 FPS or that the recommended tier represents maximum settings.
Is a controller supported?
Yes. The official launch FAQ confirms PS5 and Xbox controller support. The July 30 update also fixed several controller-specific problems involving the leaderboard, Loadout, Auction House navigation, Training Room settings and controller reconnection. These fixes do not establish support for every third-party controller, remapping scenario, Steam Deck or Linux.
How to read the requirement tiers
The listed minimum and recommended tiers are compatibility guidance from the official launch information. They are not benchmark targets. A player should not read the minimum tier as a promise of a particular frame rate, resolution, crowd density, network condition, or graphics preset. Likewise, the recommended tier does not confirm maximum settings or a specific performance mode until the release build can be measured on a documented system.
| Question | What official information confirms | What still needs launch testing |
|---|---|---|
| Can the game start on the minimum tier? | The listed CPU, GPU, RAM, Windows and DirectX 12 baseline. | Frame time, settings, resolution and performance in busy encounters. |
| What does recommended mean? | The listed i7-9700 / Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2070 / RX 5700 XT and 16 GB RAM tier. | Whether it maps to a particular preset or refresh-rate target. |
| Can I use a controller? | The launch FAQ confirms PS5 and Xbox controller support. | PC remapping, individual controller behavior and accessibility options. |
| Is Steam Deck or Linux supported? | No confirmation in the checked official sources. | A separate, version-labelled hands-on compatibility test. |
What remains unknown
- Resolution and frame-rate targets for each requirement tier.
- Final PC controller compatibility and remapping details.
- Steam Deck or Linux compatibility.
- Console performance modes.
Safe preparation before launch
Players can update Windows and graphics drivers, confirm DirectX 12 support, keep sufficient free SSD space and avoid downloading unofficial executables advertised as performance fixes. Anti-cheat or security errors should be handled through official support guidance rather than by disabling system protections.
Continue your preparation
After checking your device, use the Beginner Guide to understand the extraction loop. If the game does not start or a platform-specific issue appears, the Known Issues and Launch Troubleshooting page separates official notices from safe first checks. If the client starts but cannot connect, follow the official-first checks on the Server Status Guide.
Community Watch
- Confirmed: The official store and launch FAQ provide the PC requirement tiers, 45 GB storage, broadband, SSD recommendation and PS5/Xbox controller support. The July 30 update confirms several controller fixes.
- Community Discussion: A launch-day Reddit discussion includes a direct question about controller experience. Public posts also ask about Steam Deck, Linux and remapping; these questions do not prove compatibility.
- Speculation: Exact FPS, launch stutter, graphics presets, Steam Deck compatibility and performance on an individual system remain unverified without a documented live-version test.
DevNote #7 describes performance work while warning that results vary by hardware and system environment. This page does not convert that announcement into a frame-rate promise.
