Sonic x Shadow Generations contains a remaster of the classic Sonic Generations title from 2011, as well as a brand new adventure that sees the return of Shadow the Hedgehog. It’s coming to multiple consoles, as well as PC, and the developers have updated the Steam page with more technical information. Here are the official Sonic x Shadow Generations system requirements.
Sonic x Shadow Generations System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 – 64-Bit | Windows 10 – 64-Bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i3-2120 AMD FX-4100 | Intel Core i7-6700K AMD Ryzen 5 1500X |
| RAM | 8 GB | 8 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GT 730, 2GB ATI Radeon HD 5670, 1GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, 4GB AMD Radeon RX 580, 4GB Intel Arc A310, 4GB |
| Additional Notes | CPU – A processor supporting AVX extensions set is required | CPU – A processor supporting AVX extensions set is required |
While a few details are still missing from the requirements, Sonic x Shadow Generations isn’t a demanding title at all. The developers haven’t shared the target resolution or framerate, but if you’re looking to play the game at high settings, you’ll need something like a GTX 970 paired with a Ryzen 5 1500X. These are fairly old components at this point, but the game will provide some form of experience even on a GT 730 with just 2 GB of VRAM.
Apart from that, you need 8 GB of RAM, and Windows 10 is the only OS listed. We’ll likely see the storage requirements added in a few weeks or so, but it shouldn’t be that large. According to the Xbox page, the game size is 35 GB, so PC players can expect something similar.
Sonic x Shadow Generations is coming to PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, PS4, PS5, and the Nintendo Switch on October 25, 2024.
Overall, it seems like Sonic x Shadow Generations won’t be a problem to run on PC at all, thanks to its low system requirements. Considering how fast these games are in action, we really hope that there aren’t stutters either.
