The wait is nearly over. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 finally has its official PC specs, and they’re not as brutal as you’d expect from a full Unreal Engine 5 release. Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room confirmed the details today, giving players a clear look at what kind of hardware they’ll need before stepping into Seattle’s blood-soaked streets.
Here’s the full breakdown of specs for Bloodlines 2:
| Spec | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) | Windows 11 |
| Processor | Intel Core i3-8350K / AMD Ryzen 3 3300X | Intel Core i5-12600K / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GTX 1060 (6GB) / AMD RX 480 (8GB) / Intel Arc A580 (8GB, Resizable BAR) / AMD Radeon 780M | NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti (8GB) / AMD RX 6700 XT (12GB) |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 30 GB available space | 30 GB available space |
On paper, those numbers look forgiving, especially for a game built on UE5 with Lumen, Nanite, and Virtual Shadows enabled. The catch? Paradox hasn’t said what resolution or framerate these specs target, and given how GPU-heavy UE5 has been in recent launches, don’t be surprised if “minimum” really means low settings at 1080p.
Bloodlines 2 has already stirred controversy with Paradox’s plan to lock two clans behind paid DLC, though the publisher says it’s reviewing that decision after backlash.
The game is set to release on 21 October, and with specs this approachable, a wide range of players may be able to dive in – if their GPUs can survive the night.
