Are these system requirements for PC too much?
I just found out I am probably screwed I pre-ordered Deluxe edition but I just now noticed that my Laptop probably won't be able to run this game... I think I am gonna cry If thats the case, because I couldn't wait for the game. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB RAM but the problem is my graphic card, which is an AMD Radeon 2GB which is apparently not enough even for the minimal system requirements. Plese somebody tell me if its gonna work at least on low settings or if its not gonna work at all so I can prepare myslef psychically.

if it doesnt meet the minimum system specs then you will not be able to run the game as minimum specs are for 720p/30fps/low quality

Why don't save up for a desktop pc? You'll spend around the same but will get much better results

Get a desktop pc. I used to be a laptop only kind of guy but since getting a desktop I'm never going back. The initial investment for a desktop pc can be high but after that you just occasionally upgrade individual components. Comparing that to laptops where it's really only viable while it's current and when it's no longer the case it becomes a writer at best and you have to get a completely new one if you want to play current games.

If you are going to have to save for a laptop you may as well just save for a desktop instead.

Gaming on laptop is like gaming on mac. You deal with the problems.

2gb GPU is never gonna work with this or any game released in the last 10yrs, go buy a new laptop or get a desktop eith 32gb DDR5 as RAM these days is cheap as chips.

16 ram is low too

My first 2gb GPU was 20 yrs ago, so your card is never gonna run this game.
Just save up for a better PC and be happy knowing it will last the next 3-4yrs of gaming.

I think the system requirements are a bit high compared to the visuals displayed on the gameplay videos but idc.

All it matters to me is the playability on my 8 Gig RAM.

I know desktop PC is better option for gaming, but I don't even have space for a desk and, honestly, I am not that much of a gamer (I mean - obviously), so I think, in my case, laptop is enough. I will, however, check with someone who understands these things better, before I buy a new one for sure. Thank you all for your opinion and advice - I appreciate it.

get a ps5

Why would you ever preorder without first checking the system requirements? Secondly, steam allows refunds on all preorders.
