The Chinese Room has revealed the final PC system requirements for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. These extended PC specs list the framerate, graphics settings, and resolution these PC requirements target. So, let’s take a look at them.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. From what I know, it will use both Lumen and Nanite. So, if you’ve been able to run the latest UE5 games, you’ll also be able to enjoy this one. At least that’s my assumption.
For gaming at 1080p/30FPS on Low Settings, you’ll need an Intel Core i3-8350K or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X with 8GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, an AMD Radeon RX 480, or an Intel Arc A580. The game will also require 30GB of free disk space.
For gaming at 1080p/60FPS on High Settings, you’ll need an Intel Core i5-12600K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. This PC system can also offer 1440p/Ultra with 60FPS, provided you use DLSS Performance Mode.
For Native 4K and High Settings, the devs recommend using an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or an AMD Radeon RX 7900XTX.
Finally, for gaming at 4K/Ultra Settings with high framerates, you’ll need an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080. With this PC system, you can get to 240FPS with DLSS 4 Performance Mode and Multi-Frame Gen.
Paradox Interactive will release Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 on October 21st. NVIDIA should also download this driver that is optimized for it.
Stay tuned for more!

Unreal Engine 5? Ew, no thanks.
Yeah trash performance, stutters, blurry, temoral unstable motion with sh*t like ghosting etc guaranteed (and i dont speak about the fps masking motion blur – yeah the additional blur upon blur layer there to mask its trashy performance).
Only good the engine seems to be in most devs hands is for making good looking screen shots – Once its time to play it starts to fall appart due to showing its uggly side when in the hands of lazy devs.
Yeah like in Oblivion I was fast traveling around, because traversing the world felt undeniably awful.
But the game world sure looked gorgeous.
yeah thats the worst thing about this game.
sarcasm/
I imagine for people that do want to play it, for whatever reason, they would appreciate if the game didn't stutter or hang every few moments.
Semi light requirements? Will this game be a turn based top down detective novel?
It looks weird af
what does win 11 have to do anything with playing at 60fps??? this game is just weird
This requirement is probably written by women, that's why everything looks stupid and off.
Stutter fest on the way !
As soon as I saw they say you need Windows 11 to get more than 30 FPS I pretty much take everything else with a grain of salt …… There is no advantage to Windows 11 over Windows 10 and in fact after helping dozens of people in the past year with game problems I never once saw on Windows 10 (For instance I never had any problems with Nvidia drivers on my 4070 TI) I would call it a detriment to gaming because it's so unstable and now has a bunch of AI Slop baked into the Kernel code and system DLLs. All you have to do is describe a problem you are having with a game and I can tell you which operating system you are using with better than 90% accuracy
Lmao I just noticed that, it makes no sense wutsoever.
I always find it funny how a multi-trillion dollar corporation with the most widely used desktop OS can't seem to get their act together.
And now Microsoft wants to compete with SteamOS on the PC handhelds market, but still fails at implementing something as basic as a quick sleep & resume feature:

They also want to force whatever they gain from – Like showing an ms account just to use the OS etc – All while the competition gets more competent and have no such issues… wonder if MS want to make themselves obsolete due to worse performance and users last mind set.
My impression is that Microsoft has genuine problems finding adequate replacement for the aging Windows core developers who actually wrote and understand all the low-level OS code.
The most obvious sign that Microsoft has problems keeping up at a technical level is the fact that they have an internal Linux division.
Just think about it, why bother employing Linux developers when you already have a self-developed OS?
Why not use that everywhere?
On the other hand the number of Linux developers keeps growing every year, because that is the OS pretty much every student learns about if they are interested in how a kernel functions.
Especially the number of Chinese Linux developers is growing at an exceptional rate…
Yeah, and they need to start to depricate out all the old "legacy" bloat too. I mean look at the registry for instance, should not need a SINGLE key until you start to change things but it's a bazzillion and i bet half isn't even really used just containing what the OS should had defaulted to anyway. Its tons of such things that only degrades the performance and increases the OS footprint- IMO They should consider an legacy kernel emulation mode approach as an optional component install… i mean the OLD apps dont need much power anyway.
Yup …. Just wrap legacy applications in a Docker-like container for those that need them. You can already do that with many Windows applications in Linux. It's essentially a mini virtual machine
linux is getting better as well, the performance isnt quote as good as windows but its getting there, its mindblowing how bad ms is these days.
The best gift Microsoft did is providing an additional year of updates for Windows 10.
Just wait another year and gaming on Linux will be in an even better state, trust me…
dont you have to pay for that?
That's what I'm betting on ….. It's not quite there yet but it's getting pretty close. Before I needed to use professional tools that were only available on Windows but now that I'm retired my only requirement is single player games and most of them already work under Linux.
You're super overthinkinking it. Yeah it's weird that they threw a single bone to 10, but it's basically a game for 11, the OS currently under mainstream support.
yup, the most stable windows in many years and ms is discontinuing them.
It's stable because they quit F**ing around with it 3 years ago and adding new features no one wanted or needed.
I can see the writing on the wall and I bet Windows 12 will require a CPU with a NPU built into it because that's the only way CoPilot and Recall can work efficiently
Clearly they have had a chunk of cash from Ngreedia, those last 2 options are a joke.
Especially the second last one. Frame gen to get to 60 "FPS"… Come on now.
So you are basically playing at 30 FPS latency …. May as well buy a PS5

Looks like Microsoft's cheque to this publisher cleared.
Gotta push that "Windows 11 is required for………", bulls**t.
It wont be a true Bloodlines experience unless the game is a buggy bloated mess.
No thanks, I am not installing UE5 bloat or Windows 11 AI slop.

The biggest surprise is the game is only 30gb?? Either the texture are disappointingly low res or this game isn't going to be as huge as I had expected, which honestly would be preferred these days.
Good, im ready for Ultra 4K
being gay is also a requirement, as well having no taste.
The last bloodline 2 clan trailer just dropped (toreador).
It's really weird that we didn't have all of the trailers up until now, it was a poor marketing move because no one cared.

I'm shocked by the storage requirements. I don't think I've purchased a game in the last few years (with the exception of the new Digimon game, Time Stranger) that has been 30gb in size. I was fully expecting to have to shell out for additional storage for this game, which I'll note that I have had pre-ordered since before COVID was a twinkle in the public consciousness. Hopefully it's just ridiculously well optimized on the content storage algorithm side, and not severely short.
