PC System Requirements Revealed Ahead of Crimson Test
SPARK NEXA published PC specs for the first closed beta — headlined by a 32 GB RAM minimum that sparked debate, alongside RTX 2060/3070 Ti tiers and 80-90 GB of storage.
Days before Crimson Test recruitment opened, SPARK NEXA published the beta’s PC system requirements — and one line generated more discussion than the trailer itself: a 32 GB RAM minimum.
The specs
Minimum: Windows 10 64-bit, Intel i5-9400 / Ryzen 5 3000 series, RTX 2060 / RX 5700, 32 GB RAM, 90 GB storage.
Recommended: Windows 10/11, Intel i7-12700 / Ryzen 7 5000-series+, RTX 3070 Ti / RX 6800, 32 GB RAM, 80 GB SSD.
The CPU and GPU tiers are unremarkable for a modern UE5 open-world title — the RAM floor is what stood out, since most games still list 16 GB as a minimum in 2026.
Why the number, and why it might not stick
SPARK NEXA’s own materials framed the Crimson Test as a technical test of an unoptimized build, with performance work explicitly still in progress. High beta-era memory requirements are common for UE5 titles carrying full uncompressed asset sets and debug overhead — they typically drop as texture streaming and memory management get tuned for launch.
Practically: if you’re building or upgrading a PC with this game in mind, 32 GB is the safe, future-proof target regardless of what launch ultimately requires. See our full requirements guide for the recommended tier and storage details, updated as new specs are published.
