You’re going to need a better rig to play The Witcher 3
CD Projekt RED has published the system requirements for the PC version of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. The game will take up at least 40GB, and require DirectX 11 and a 64-bit Windows 7 or 8 operating system, which isn’t crazy for a modern game, but the rest of the specifications may call for some upgrading.

For comparison, the average gamer’s system according to Steam’s hardware survey has a 2.3 to 2.69GHz processor, and 1GB of video memory. Of course, you can always opt to play the game on Xbox One or PlayStation 4 if your PC isn’t up to snuff. The Witcher 3 is scheduled to launch on May 19th.
