Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 to support all major upscaling technologies
The game will require at least 16GB of system memory and 70GB of fast storage to work. Those are minimum requirements for the game to run efficiently, while performance tiers will vary depending on the preferred resolution and available graphics power. Those with Intel’s latest Arc A580 or slightly older GTX 1070, RX 5700 graphics cards should be able to run the game at the lowest settings with 1080p resolution.
Here, upscaling technology will come in handy, such as FSR3 or XeSS 1.3, which are supported by more than just the latest GPUs. However, the game is said to support DLSS3 as well, which means it will support all three technologies at some point (it was not stated whether that support comes at launch).
The recommended PC specs list RTX 3080, RX 6800XT, and Arc A770 GPU in order to run the game with high settings at 1440p resolution. It is assumed that the game must be well-optimized for Arc A770; otherwise, it is interesting to see this GPU in such a performance tier.
The full graphics power of RTX 4080 and Radeon RX 7900 XTX will be enough to run the game at 4K resolution with high settings.

Ninja Theory confirmed the game to support ultra-wide configuration.
The Senua’s Saga Hell blade 2 will be limited to 30 FPS on the Xbox Series X/S, but it is not stated whether the PC specs target is the same. Developers claimed that 30 FPS gameplay on the console was a conscious decision, giving the game a more “film-like” experience.
The game is now set to launch on May 21, and it is available for preorder on Steam. There is benefit in preordering this game, so it would make sense to just wait for the release and read the reviews before committing $49.
