Alan Wake 2 minimum requirements and recommended specs on PC

The Alan Wake 2 minimum requirements for PC show that it's a technically demanding game and requires a souped-up PC to run smoothly, especially with ray-tracing. With that said, I recommend taking these spec requirements with a small pinch of salt, as we've seen adequate performance for Alan Wake 2 on lower-end machines compared to the suggestions of these official specs. For example, we've managed to run the game on high settings with ray-tracing at low or medium on a variety of different 2060/2070 machines. To help your machine handle the Dark Place and more, I've listed all the Alan Wake 2 recommended requirements, from basic 1080p 60FPS to full ray-tracing.
