Upcoming Open-World RPG Has "Potato" Graphics Setting Below Even Minimum Specs

Outward 2 releases on Steam Early Access on July 7. The game’s system requirements include high-end targets such as an RTX 40780 and 32GB RAM for max settings, but it also provides a “potato” preset below the minimum “very low” settings. The potato preset targets 1280x720 at 30FPS using a GeForce GTX 750 Ti, an FX 6300 CPU, and 8GB RAM. Performance is shown in single-player and “couch potato” co-op mode. The game is an open-world survival RPG where players choose an origin and starting location, seek trainers, manage inventory and supplies, and rely on preparation using potions, traps, spells, and gear. Combat emphasizes planning rather than raw power, and defeat carries consequences through auto-saving.

"If you are somehow still rocking a GeForce GTX 750 TI with only 8GB, you're in luck, as Outward 2 comes equipped with a "potato" settings preset that is even below the "very low" settings found in the game's minimum system requirements."

"Potato Specs For Outward 2 Avg Performance - 1280 x 720 @ 30FPS GPU - GeForce GTX 750 TI CPU - FX 6300 x 6 RAM - 8GB"

"What does that look like in motion, exactly? Surprisingly decent. As detailed by Nine Dot's "new tech guy," Mister Potato, Outward 2 looks to run fairly well on even the lowest of low settings. The video even shares a look at the game running in "couch potato" co-op mode."

"Unlike many other power-fantasy-focused RPGs, Outward 2 makes clear players are not superhumans or magically gifted chosen ones. Instead, players will pick an origin and starting location. From there they'll embark on an adventure to seek out trainers and learn new skills, having to carefully manage their inventory and supplies along the way."
