It's what game publishers write on the back of the box. You honestly believe they would lock out a huge slice of potential customers just for fun and giggles? Like I said, they write it so customers don't cry in outrage about lackluster porting and demand refunds if their game runs like donkey poo on anything below the minimum requirements. |
Let's check the first months of the last console launch: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-the-best-pc-hardware-for-the-witcher-3
The official Witcher 3 system requirements are pretty steep: the minimum is a Core i5 2500K, 6GB of RAM and a GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870, while the recommended spec sees a jump to an i7 3770, GTX 770 or Radeon R9 290 and 8GB of RAM. Our minimum spec is a Core i3 4130/FX 6300 with GTX 750 Ti - much, much lower, but you get a PS4-level experience using the settings in this guide.
