Sandfall Interactive has just dropped the official PC requirements for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the upcoming turn-based RPG running on Unreal Engine 5. If you’re a fan of classic Final Fantasy-style combat with a modern twist, this might be one to watch. The game is set to launch on April 24, so it’s time to check if your setup is up to the task!

Collector’s editions are selling out fast

The hype train is well and truly rolling, with demand for the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Collector’s Editions going through the roof. In a post on X, Sandfall Interactive admitted they’re struggling to keep up, saying:

“The outpouring of support has been wonderful, and we see your messages requesting restocks of certain editions and availability in your regions or for particular consoles. Truthfully, getting these made was a monumental feat for us. We are so grateful to see that the demand was there and that it exceeded our expectations.”

They also noted that while they’d love to restock, it’s not guaranteed due to certain limitations. So, if you’re eyeing a special edition, you might need to act fast or keep an eye out for any updates!

Can your PC handle Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

Here’s what you’ll need to run the game smoothly.

Minimum requirements (1080p, 30FPS on low settings)

ComponentSpecification
OSWindows 10 (64-bit)
ProcessorIntel Core i7-8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
Memory8 GB RAM
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB / AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB / Intel Arc A580 8GB
DirectXVersion 12
Storage55 GB available space

For a game built in Unreal Engine 5, these are pretty reasonable if you’re happy with 1080p and 30FPS. But if you’re aiming for that buttery smooth 60FPS experience, you’ll need more power under the hood.

Recommended requirements (1080p, 60FPS on high settings)

ComponentSpecification
OSWindows 11 (64-bit)
ProcessorIntel Core i7-11700K / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
Memory16 GB RAM
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB
DirectXVersion 12
Storage55 GB available space

These specs are a big step up, but considering Unreal Engine 5’s heavy lifting, it makes sense. Here’s hoping Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 avoids the performance issues that some Unreal Engine 5 games have faced (Silent Hill 2, we’re looking at you).
