The Blood of Dawnwalker PC System Requirements — Minimum to 4K Ultra

Rebel Wolves has published a full five-tier PC spec table for The Blood of Dawnwalker, covering everything from 1080p/30fps on older hardware up to native 4K/60fps on the highest-end cards. The game went gold on July 16, 2026, locking in the September 3, 2026 release date. Here's the complete breakdown, plus what's confirmed about upscaling support and PC editions.

01Release Date and Platforms

The Blood of Dawnwalker launches September 3, 2026 on PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S — simultaneously, with no timed console exclusivity.

Rebel Wolves confirmed via their official account that the game went gold on July 16, 2026, meaning development is complete and the September 3 date is locked barring an unannounced last-minute change.

02Shared Requirements (All Tiers)

Every spec tier below shares the same baseline platform requirements:

• OS: Windows 10
• DirectX: Version 12
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: 60 GB, SSD required

All performance targets below (FPS at a given resolution/preset) are measured without upscaling or frame generation active — turning on DLSS, FSR, or XeSS should let you exceed these targets or run at higher settings on the same hardware.

03Minimum — 1080p / 30 FPS / Low

• CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 / GTX 1070, AMD RX Vega 56, or Intel Arc A580
• VRAM: 6 GB

Note: Rebel Wolves actually lowered the game's floor in a separate June 2026 optimization patch, down to an Intel Core i5-11400F / GTX 1060 / RX 580 tier. That's a different, easier bar than this July table, which measures native rendering with no upscaling — GTX 1060 owners should expect to lean on DLSS/FSR/XeSS to hit playable framerates rather than running natively at this table's Minimum tier.

04Recommended — 1080p / 60 FPS / High

• CPU: Intel Core i5-13600 or AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060 or AMD RX 6800 XT
• VRAM: Sources disagree here — reported figures range from 8 GB to 12 GB. Budget for the higher end (12 GB) to be safe until Rebel Wolves' own store page confirms the exact number.

05Recommended — 1440p / 60 FPS / High

• CPU: Intel Core i5-13600 or AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti or AMD RX 7800 XT
• VRAM: 12 GB

06Ultra — 1440p / 60 FPS

• CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XTX
• VRAM: 16 GB

07Ultra — Native 4K / 60 FPS

• CPU: Intel Core i5-13600K or AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5090
• VRAM: 16 GB

This is the only tier with a single named GPU rather than an NVIDIA/AMD pair — no AMD card has been confirmed for native, unassisted 4K/60. With DLSS or FSR Quality mode enabled, the 1440p Ultra tier (RTX 4080 / RX 7900 XTX) should be sufficient for a comparable 4K experience.

08Upscaling and Ray Tracing

DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS are all confirmed to be supported at launch, including frame generation for all three technologies. Specific version numbers haven't been independently confirmed from an official source, so treat any version number you see elsewhere as unverified.

Software-based ray-traced reflections (via the engine's Lumen-style global illumination) are confirmed for launch. A dedicated hardware-accelerated ray-tracing toggle is planned as a post-launch patch rather than day one, and DLSS Ray Reconstruction is slated for 2027 — so don't expect a full RT settings toggle in the initial release.

09PC Editions and Pre-Order Bonus

The Blood of Dawnwalker ships in three confirmed editions on PC:

• Standard Digital — $69.99: the base game.
• Eclipse Edition — $79.99: base game plus a Digital World Compendium, Digital Soundtrack, and Digital Comic Book.
• Collector's Edition — $199.99: base game with the Eclipse digital upgrade, plus physical items — a Steelbook, a 60-page physical World Compendium with concept art, a World Map, a Collector's Box, and a 23 cm Coen figurine.

Every edition, on every platform, includes the same pre-order bonus: the Sangoran Wayfarer's Armor Set.
