You Don’t Need Much to Play Ninja Gaiden 4 on PC
Great year for action games!
2025 is the year of the Ninja, and what better way to continue it than with Ninja Gaiden 4, a mainline entry in the action series from Team Ninja. Platinum Games has teamed up with Team Ninja for a collaborative action title that’s pretty light when it comes to requirements.
Here are the complete system requirements for Ninja Gaiden 4 and what kind of system you’ll need for a decent experience.
Ninja Gaiden 4 System Requirements
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| Resolution | 1080p | 1080p |
| Target FPS | 30 FPS | 60 FPS |
| FSR Quality | “Low” | “Middle” |
| Object Quality | “Low” | “Middle” |
| OS | Windows 10/11 – 64-Bit | Windows 10/11 – 64-Bit |
| CPU | Intel Core i5-8400 AMD Ryzen 5 3400G | Intel Core i5-10400 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, 6GB AMD Radeon RX 590, 8GB | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060, 8GB AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, 8GB |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 100 GB | 100 GB |
The developers have given a decent breakdown of the settings, but keep in mind that neither of these is running the game at native 1080p. If you want to play the game at 1080p with FSR set to “middle,” which I’m assuming means balanced and with object quality set to medium as well, you’ll need something like an RTX 2060 paired with a Ryzen 5 3600.
Since the RTX 2060 is a fairly old GPU at this point, I’m assuming that something like an RTX 3060 or RTX 4060 should be more than enough for a native 1080p experience. On the lower side, a GTX 1060 can provide a 30 FPS experience, but with FSR set to “low,” which likely translates to performance. Personally, that does not sound like a desirable experience to me, especially for a lightning-fast action game like Ninja Gaiden.
Outside of that, FSR has been confirmed through these requirements, and I don’t see any reason for DLSS not to be included in the final release. Ninja Gaiden 2 Black has DLSS and benefits greatly from its latest transformer model.
Ninja Gaiden 4 Release Date
Ninja Gaiden 4 is coming to PC, Xbox Series S|X, and PS5 on October 21, 2025.
You can pre-order it now across all platforms!
Overall, Ninja Gaiden 4 doesn’t sound like a demanding game, and it’s targeting 60 and 120 FPS on current-generation consoles, including PS5 and Xbox Series S|X, which means that the PC version shouldn’t take much to run well either.
The requirements paint a good picture, but I would appreciate it if developers didn’t mention upscaled resolutions and instead just listed the hardware required for native rendering.
