The PC specs for PlayStation’s upcoming shooter Helldivers 2 might be a touch beefier than expected.
It’s a case of specs seeming perfectly reasonable until they suddenly send the build budget into the stratosphere. Let’s go through the specs bit by bit.

As you can see, there’s a bit of a ramp here. The specs start extremely doable and wind up at the “Oh Damn” end of the spectrum. Obviously, if what you want is 4K res at 60 frames, you’re going to need a bit of a beast to pull that off and the Ultra specs reflect that.
Maybe it’s that the original Helldivers was more of a top-down shooter and, in my mind, the sequel is automatically more of the same. It’s not! It’s a third-person shooter now! Totally different kind of game with a totally different set of hardware demands.
You can see all the specs above in a nice infographic over at the PlayStation Blog. What do you make of the Helldivers 2 PC specs? Too high? Lower than you thought? About right? Get in the comments, let us know.
