The Blood of Dawnwalker is an Unreal Engine 5 open-world RPG, and its PC demands are refreshingly reasonable at the entry level: a GTX 1060 and 16 GB of RAM clear the minimum bar, while an RTX 4060-class card hits the recommended tier. You’ll need 60 GB of SSD space, and there’s no Denuvo on the PC build.

Here are all the published specs, including the more detailed tier list Rebel Wolves released for higher resolutions.

Notable: 16 GB of RAM at both tiers, DirectX 12 required, and Intel Arc getting an explicit mention in the recommended row.

Extended performance tiers (native, no upscaling)

In late June, Rebel Wolves published a more granular multi-tier sheet. Two things to know about it: all figures were measured natively, without upscalers or frame generation, and its entry tiers don’t perfectly match the Steam min/rec above (the sheets were published separately — where they differ, treat Steam as the storefront-official floor).

TargetCPUGPU
1080p / 30 fps, LowCore i7-8700K / Ryzen 7 3700XRTX 3050 / GTX 1070 / RX Vega 56 / Arc A580
1080p / 60 fps, HighCore i5-13600 / Ryzen 9 7900XRTX 5060 / RX 6800 XT (12 GB VRAM class)
1440p / 60 fps, HighRTX 4070 Ti / RX 7800 XT
1440p / 60 fps, UltraRTX 4080 / RX 7900 XTX
4K / 60 fps, Ultra (native)RTX 5090 (16 GB VRAM class)

That 4K row deserves context: an RTX 5090 for native 4K/60 Ultra sounds brutal, but remember these are no-upscaler numbers. With DLSS or FSR enabled — both confirmed — 4K on far more modest hardware is the realistic path, as with most UE5 releases.

DRM, upscalers and display features

  • No Denuvo. Rebel Wolves confirmed the PC version skips Denuvo anti-tamper entirely, and the Steam page carries no third-party DRM notice. No anti-cheat either — it’s a single-player game.
  • Upscalers: “a variety of upscalers such as DLSS or FSR will be supported,” per the studio.
  • Display: ultrawide and HDR support and fully rebindable controls have been reported for the PC version.
  • Steam features: 46 achievements, full controller support (gamepad recommended), Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing.

Still unannounced

A few PC details remain unpublished as of mid-August 2026: Steam Deck verification, ray tracing specifics, and console-style performance/quality mode breakdowns. Preload timing also hasn’t been announced. We’ll update this page as those land ahead of the September 3 launch.

Next steps: compare the four editions before you buy, check the platform and feature FAQ for Game Pass and difficulty questions, or see exact release times by region.
