Microsoft and 343 Industries have revealed the official PC system requirements for Halo Infinite (via its Steam store page). According to the specs, the game will be using DirectX 12 and will require 50GB of free hard-disk space.
The minimum requirements list an AMD FX-8370 or Intel i5-4440 with 8GB of RAM and an AMD RX 570 or Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti. 343 Industries recommends using an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel i7-9700k with 16GB RAM and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or Nvidia RTX 2070.
Halo Infinite will release on PC on December 8th. Moreover, and as we’ve already reported, the game will not have campaign co-op, PC splitscreen or Forge at launch.

These GPU requirements are not reasonable. It’s like they just ignored that the mining crisis happened and more recently chip shortages. People are still using GTX 1060 / RX 580 these days and that’s barely above the MINIMUM?? What kind of performance is the basis? 1080p60? It’s got to be because anything less would be a joke considering how dated the game looks. 343 are out of their mind if they plan on releasing the game poorly optimized after getting a whole year of extra-time. Plus everybody knows it’s really a Xbox One game so wtf is taking so much GPU power? A RX 580 is probably three times as strong as the Xbone GPU or more. Are they shooting for 120 fps on MINIMUM requirements?? Disastrous launch incoming.
1060’s 5 years old now, and was on the cusp of supporting the first DX12 feature level.
Well, don’t play then.
Well the new consoles are better than the min gpu’s and close to the rec gpu’s… Game dev’s build around consoles not PC gpu’s…
See, they cry now. THIS is why one should not cheap out on discrete GPUs.
Xbone is playing this game at 900p aiming for 30fps and the settings it used [In the technical flight] were below that of PC minimum.
The game isn’t well optimised all around, I don’t even think this will be a PC specific issue.
Edit: The launch will be an absolute trainwreck and I look forward to the entertainment that will follow it.
sadly, its looking like this is going to come true. I think only the Xbox Series X versions will run fine, I think the PC and Xbone will suffer from bugs/glitches/low fps but 343 will tweet out that they will fix it in a patch.
“What kind of performance is the basis? 1080p60?”
Cheaper Xbox Series S run this game 1080p at locked 120fps in multiplayer and 60 fps in campaign. If you want whole game in 1080p 60fps just buy PC with equal hardware to Xbox Series S
– 8 core Zen 2 CPU 3.6 GHz like Ryzen 3700X
– cheapest Radeon with RDNA2 – RX 6600 have 28 CU (4 more than Xbox)
Welcome to PC gaming. You’re fortunate that GTX 1060 & RX 580 cards lasted as long as they did.
rx570 is way better than a 1050 ti
GCN architecture does better in dx12
Yes, it will perform much better like in all games.
I have no idea who makes these requirements and why they rarely make any sense at all.
As a fan of halo ( since a I was a child) these specs are laughable, the game doesn’t even look remotely close to being that good for it to be power hungry. LEL what is this ?
Oh, look! A 3 year old mid-range GPU is the target RECOMMENDED GPU for this hot garbage… Conslow graphics JUSTIFIED!

Craig APPROVES!
When you need to pick one frame of a whole video from 1 year ago.
The whole video was a theatre of underwhelming graphics, not just one frame. I just picked this image because Craig is cute.
A 3700x and 9700k are much faster than the gimped cpu they are using in the series x

Conslow graphics JUSTIFIED at the tip of a 2070!

Hopefully the optimization on this is solid, may not pick it up till they’ve patched it a bit and added the co op
LOL i knew it this game looks like a xbox 360 game at best but in HD yet look at those requirements lol.
WTF
“AMD RX 570 or Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti”
Quite the requirements for a game that runs on a base Xbox One.
Windows 10 RS3 x64 / Windows 10 19H2 x64
