Sniper Elite 5 sees protagonist Karl Fairburne putting his skills as a sharpshooter to the test in France, where he must help the Allied cause and stop a secret Nazi Project. The fifth entry in the World War 2 third-person shooter series is on many fans’ radars and, if you’re one of them, you’re likely wondering about the game’s system requirements.
Sniper Elite 5’s PC specs dictate whether you’ll be able to crank its setting all the way or have to sacrifice some visual fidelity for a smoother experience. As GPUs continue to be rather difficult to obtain at a fair price, keeping track of the game’s system requirements prior to launch is fairly important. Thankfully, we now have the first set of details regarding the hardware we’ll need.
