There’s good reason for the jump in expectations. Built on Unreal Engine 5, The Blood of Dawnwalker leans into modern lighting and rendering tech, and the requirements reflect that ambition.
This is a game that’s clearly aiming for atmosphere as much as action, with its vision of a war-torn, plague-ravaged 14th-century Europe shaped as much by visuals as by storytelling.
Players step into the role of Coen, a half-human, half-vampire “Dawnwalker” navigating uneasy alliances in the shadow of a powerful vampire lord. It’s a setup that thrives on immersion—making performance and visual fidelity more than just a technical concern.

Full list of The Blood of Dawnwalker PC requirements: Minimum, recommended, and ultra
| CATEGORY | MINIMUM (1080p @ 30 FPS) | RECOMMENDED (1080p @ 60 FPS) | RECOMMENDED (1440p @ 60 FPS) | ULTRA (1440p @ 60 FPS) | ULTRA (2160p @ 60 FPS) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quality Preset | Low | High | High | Ultra | Ultra |
| CPU | Intel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | Intel Core i5-13600 / AMD Ryzen 9 7900X | Intel Core i5-13600 / AMD Ryzen 9 7900X | Intel Core i5-13600K / AMD Ryzen 9 7950X | Intel Core i5-13600K / AMD Ryzen 9 7950X |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX 3050 / GTX 1070 / AMD RX Vega 56 / Intel Arc A580 | NVIDIA RTX 3060 / AMD RX 6800 XT | NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti / AMD RX 7800 XT | NVIDIA RTX 4080 / AMD RX 7900 XTX | NVIDIA RTX 5090 |
| VRAM | 6 GB | 12 GB | 12 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD |
| OS | Windows 10 (DirectX 12) | Windows 10 (DirectX 12) | Windows 10 (DirectX 12) | Windows 10 (DirectX 12) | Windows 10 (DirectX 12) |
Overall, the requirements scale in a fairly expected way, with 16GB of RAM and 60GB of SSD storage as the consistent baseline across all tiers.
The real jump comes on the GPU side—moving from older cards like the GTX 1070 at minimum to current-gen hardware for higher settings, and eventually pushing into top-end territory for 4K.
1080p remains relatively accessible, but hitting 1440p and above—especially on ultra—demands significantly stronger GPUs and newer CPUs.
By the time you’re targeting 4K at 60 FPS, the game is clearly positioned as a showcase for high-end rigs rather than something most mid-range systems will comfortably handle.
Pre-orders for The Blood of Dawnwalker are now available for PlayStation5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
