Tripwire Interactive has announced the release date for Killing Floor 3, the latest installment in the high-octane co-op FPS series. This new entry is coming to PC and current-generation consoles, built on Unreal Engine 5.
The developers have also confirmed that players will get a chance to try the game ahead of launch through a closed beta. With the release date now set, pre-orders for Killing Floor 3 are live. Here’s everything you need to know about its different editions, system requirements, and pre-order bonuses.
Killing Floor 3 Pre-Order Bonus
Players who pre-order Killing Floor 3 will receive the Flatline Tactical Bundle which includes the following items:
- Flatliner Weapon Skin Set
- Fear the Reaper Weapon Trinket

All three of these are customization items and don’t provide any gameplay benefits. No matter which edition you pre-order, you will receive the same bundle.

| Killing Floor 3 Digital Edition | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard Edition | $39.99 |

We can confirm that there is regional pricing for the Steam version at least. Additionally, players can purchase the following physical editions from different retailers:

Killing Floor 3 System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10/11 – 64-Bit | Windows 10 – 64-Bit |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Intel Core i7-4790 | AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Intel Core i9700k |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 1060 AMD Radeon RX 480 | AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT GeForce RTX 3060 |
| DirectX 12 | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 20 GB | 20 GB |
The developers have not shared the target resolution or framerate in these requirements. However, despite the excellent visuals, Killing Floor 3 doesn’t seem like a very demanding title. An RTX 3060 is recommended paired with a Ryzen 7 7700X. On the lower side, even a GTX 1060 can play the upcoming title. Apart from that, players only need 20 GB of free space to install Killing Floor 3.
These requirements may be updated closer to launch because these seem pretty low for an Unreal Engine 5 release.
Killing Floor 3 Closed Beta
Tripwire Interactive has announced a closed beta for Killing Floor 3, set for February 20, 2024. If you’re interested in trying the game, sign up here for a chance to participate.
Killing Floor 3 Release Date
