Deep Silver and Ys Net have revealed the official PC requirements for Shenmue 3. According to the specs, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-4460 with 4GB of RAM and an Nvidia Geforce 650Ti graphics card.
Ys Net recommends an Intel Core i7-7700 with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia Geforce 1070 GPU. The game will also require 100GB of free hard-disk space and even though it is using Unreal Engine 4, it will not be taking advantage of DirectX 12.
Shenmue III sees the eagerly anticipated continuation of the epic story-driven saga. Players will take control of Ryo Hazuki, a teenage martial artist, determined to unravel the mystery behind his father’s murder and to exact revenge on the killer.
The game promises to let players explore a vibrant, colourful open world, meet intriguing characters and endeavour on a cinematic adventure which will take them further into enemy territory and deeper into the mystery of the Phoenix Mirror.
Shenmue 3 releases on November 19th and below you can find its full PC requirements.

Recommends:
– Intel i7-7700

This game has to be horribly optimized. No way in hell this PS3 era game requires this high of PC requirements.
Haha, ya, those are hilarious “requirements” for this thing. Wow. That’s cringe inducing.
…minecraft ray traced needs a 2080.
most expensive features are typically – global illumination, HBAO, tessellation, volumetric lighting, screen-space reflections, physicX, and Nvidia works.
Does this game support ray tracing?
B**ch pls. Look at that graphics it needs a 1070 to play and look that good. Look at them textures. This is the future
look at the min. req.tho
why is it badly optimized, maybe its 4k for a 1070?
Game visually looks like a** and these requirements?! Terribly optimized very likely!
And that awful animations 😀
1070 or better? Must be either bad optimized or looking good af
Really? a mid-tier 3 year old card is the recommended. So no, you’re wrong on both counts.
I have a 1070 since launch lol, its still better than average cards, no matter the years (its like saying 1080ti should be “common” specs since its “old”. Anyway those specs must be for ultra 1080p60fps probably
Really ? an outdated +10 years old graphics needs a 1070 and 16GB ram. So yeah, you are mentally challenged.
And +15 years old animations 😛
15 Years ? pff, Syphon Filter came out in 1999 compare the animations with this, it’s more in line with Cyberia 1994 but a bit worst.
But does good animations requires higher hardware?
Guess not but my point is in my first replay when i’m talking about visuals not just animations.
I guess you are right, with the exception of games like GTA4 that have animations with complex physics.

Holy $hit, I just damn near woke up the neighbors how hard i just laughed. You FIXED it way better than i ever could. Damn man, I’m not worthy. 🙂
the fact that the haters believe these ridiculous requirements is the fault of EGS, is hilarious the least.
WTH are you talking about ? No one said that !
Uhm, no one said it was the fault of the EGS store. Who here is saying that, point them out please. Are you mental or something bro? Who in their right mind would think that an inflated game requirement is because of the launcher. Dude, what is wrong with you? I can’t believe that’s what you got out of all of this. C’mon man do better.
then you dont have anything to worry about. just ignore my post.
100GB?did they put 8k movies in there???

This game will be such a treat on EGS.
Denuvo and online DRM should keep pirates from stealing this piece of art for months.
Let’s hope so.
you guys are funny LUL
What in the hell?
Min 4GB ram yet requires a 64-bit processor. Pretty much confirms denuvo.
is this a joke?
the graphical fidelity we have seen so far in no way should demand such high requirements.
Nvidia Geforce 650 Ti 2GB or better
it just works!
Either this is going to live up to the major hype or its going to be duke nukem all over again.
the worst game (in kickstarter history) in video games.. i don’t even interested in pirate version..
