Directive 8020 system requirements have more teeth that you might expect

What happens when The Thing crashes into Until Dawn? You get some meaty Directive 8020 system requirements that start off sweet and innocent, only to morph into something far more challenging once you turn up the graphics settings. Fortunately, the barrier to entry is relatively low for this upcoming sci-fi horror game.

Horror games are something Supermassive Games excels at, and Directive 8020 strongly calls to mind elements of Dead Space with an Until Dawn twist. Ironically, the Directive 8020 requirements are quite similar to the Dead Space remake system requirements, calling for one of the best gaming CPU options from our buying guide in order to render the horrors lurking within the bowels of the Cassiopeia at their best.

Here are the Directive 8020 system requirements:

The Directive 8020 minimum requirements start out relatively tame, calling for a once high-end graphics card from 2019, like the AMD Radeon RX 5700 or Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super, paired with an Intel Core i5 8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU. You'll also need 16GB of RAM, which most modern gaming rigs should already be running.

These requirements are relatively easy to match for modern gaming rigs, but older gaming laptops and PCs in need of an upgrade may struggle, especially when it comes to the Directive 8020 recommended specs. Here, the high-end graphics settings call for quite recent hardware, including an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU, an Intel Core i5-12400F or AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, and 16GB of RAM.

When it comes to storage space, the Directive 8020 download size is what you'd expect of most modern 3D games, calling for just 70GB of space. An SSD is recommended, and we recommend you get one of the best gaming SSD options from our buying guide to reduce your loading times if you're still using a traditional hard disk drive, or if your existing SSD is running out of space.
