Dying Light: The Beast began as an expansion but is now a standalone sequel featuring the return of Kyle Crane. Like the last few titles, Techland is depending on its in-house tech for a visually stunning sequel that looks like an actual follow-up to the original Dying Light.
With the game only a few weeks away from launch, Techland has gone ahead and unveiled the system requirements for Dying Light: The Beast, along with PC-specific features you can expect at release.
Dying Light The Beast System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | High | Ultra | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Performance | 1080p @ 30FPS | 1440p @ 60FPS | 4K 60FPS | 4K @ 60FPS |
| Graphics Settings | Low | Medium | High | Ultra (RT w/ Frame Generation) |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT Intel Arc A750 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT Intel Arc B580 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 AMD Radeon RX 9070 Intel Arc B580 |
| GPU Memory | 6GB | 8GB | 12GB | 12GB |
| CPU | Intel i5-13400F AMD Ryzen 7 5800F | Intel i5-13400F AMD Ryzen 7 7700 | Intel i7-13700K AMD Ryzen 9 7800 X3D | Intel i9-14900K AMD Ryzen 9 7950 X3D |
| RAM | 16GB | 16GB | 32GB | 32GB |
| OS | Windows 10 or newer | Windows 10 or newer | Windows 10 or newer | Windows 10 or newer |
| Storage | 70 GB SSD | 70 GB SSD | 70 GB SSD | 70 GB SSD |
If you have played previous Dying Light titles, it should be apparent that the developers put a lot of work into ensuring that the game runs well on a variety of hardware. Based on the requirements above, it doesn’t seem different because the lowest possible GPU capable of providing a 30 FPS experience at the low preset is the aging GTX 1060.
If you want a decent 4K experience, then you’ll need something like an RTX 4070 Ti, paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 7800 X3D. You can enjoy the game at 60 FPS without any upscaling, from what I can tell, on the high preset.
Like most AAA titles, Dying Light: The Beast requires a good chunk of your SSD, and you’ll need to free up 70 GB to install the game. 32 GB of RAM is slowly becoming the new standard, especially if you want to play at 4K, and that’s the same with this title.

Dying Light The Beast Release Date

I have high hopes for Dying Light: The Beast and hope that the studio continues their legacy of delivering excellent PC releases that are optimized for a variety of configurations and offer scalability for users with beefy setups.
