Confusingly (and possibly just to annoy team red) the Steam page does not indicate an AMD processor specification, but one should expect a quad-core for minimum and 6/8 core for recommended.
What is going to surprise most is how seemingly reasonable the ‘recommended’ specifications are. This might raise concerns that the game will not be graphically too impressive, however, if it looks anything like the original Outlast I wouldn’t anticipate needing to worry too much. Outlast was an excellent atmospheric and outright scary game and I would be very surprised if this sequel fails to exceed that which the original achieved.
The gameplay video below looks impressive and very spooky!
Outlast is being released for the PC, Xbox One and PS4 on April 27th 2017.
