Dying Light: The Beast PC Specs Reveal Bold New Demands for Survival Horror Fans
Techland just dropped the official PC specs for Dying Light: The Beast, and if you were hoping for a clean, scalable roadmap—nope. The CPU demands are stacked like you’re rendering a cinematic trailer, while the GPU list reads like someone shuffled a tech catalog and picked cards at random.
Minimum Specs (1080p / Low / 30 FPS)
This is where things already get weird:
- CPU: Intel Core i5-13400F or AMD Ryzen 7 5800F
- Note: The 5800F not for individual purchase. Probably meant 5800X.
- GPU: GTX 1060, RX 5500 XT, or Intel Arc A750
- That’s a 2016 card, a 2019 card, and a wildcard from 2022.
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: SSD required
So yes, you’ll need a mid-tier CPU and a GPU from three different eras just to hit 30 FPS on low. That’s not minimum—that’s mid-spec cosplay.
Recommended Specs (1440p / High / 60 FPS)
Things escalate quickly:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 9 7800X3D
- Again, mislabeled—7800X3D is a Ryzen 7 chip.
- GPU: RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7900 GRE
- RAM: 32 GB
- Storage: SSD, obviously
This setup is solid, but it’s also overkill for 1440p unless the game’s hiding some serious optimization issues.
Ultra Specs (4K / Ultra / Ray Tracing)
Here’s where the spec sheet goes full fever dream:
- CPU: Intel Core i9-14900K or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
- That’s top-tier silicon, and not even the best gaming chip in AMD’s lineup.
- GPU: RTX 5070, RX 9070, or Intel Arc B580
- RAM: 32 GB
- Storage: SSD, probably NVMe if you want to survive loading screens
It’s like they built this tier using a dartboard and a wishlist.
Laptop Specs (Yes, They Included Those)
Techland also dropped specs for mobile setups:
- GPU: RTX 3050 Mobile or Intel Core Ultra 7 258V iGPU
- RAM: 16 GB
- Storage: SSD
These are significantly weaker than the desktop minimums, which either means the game scales beautifully—or your laptop’s about to become a space heater.
Dying Light: The Beast Final Thoughts: Wait for Benchmarks
Techland’s Dying Light: The Beast PC requirements are ambitious, inconsistent, and riddled with naming errors. The CPU demands are sky-high, the GPU logic is all over the place, and the laptop specs feel like a dare.
If you’re planning to upgrade for this game, hold off until real-world benchmarks drop. Because right now, this spec sheet feels more like a marketing flex than a technical roadmap.
