Resident Evil Revelations: PC requirements and the PC you need

About Resident Evil Revelations

Resident Evil Revelations is a survival horror game from Capcom, first made for handheld consoles and later improved for PC. Jill Valentine and other agents explore an abandoned cruise liner overrun by mutated creatures, scanning for clues, saving ammunition and fighting their way through tight corridors. Alongside the story there is a Raid mode that can be played with a partner. It is rated PEGI 16. It runs on modest hardware, so any of our gaming PCs handles it easily.

What Resident Evil Revelations needs

In plain words: to play at all it needs almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, and to play it well the makers suggest basic graphics: built-in graphics on a modern processor, or an old entry-level card, with 4GB of memory.

A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?

This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably at high settings.

On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.

On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.

Questions about Resident Evil Revelations on PC

How we match: we compare the graphics card and the memory in each PC with the makers' spec, because those decide most of how a game runs. For very new or demanding games, ask us and we will check the processor too. More help: graphics cards explained, how much RAM, which screen.
