Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has revealed the system requirements players will need to meet in order to play the game on PC. Though Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is built in Unreal Engine 5, players should find the title to be fairly accessible, at least at the minimum system requirements.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has been awaited by fans for a long time now, but the game is finally approaching the finish line. Initially announced in 2019 as the follow-up to the 2004 Troika game, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has since seen multiple delays, as well as the removal of individual members of the development team, and eventually, changing developers entirely. With Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 cementing an October 2025 release date, expectant fans can now ensure their PCs are up to the task.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Developer Offering Refunds
Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room announce refunds for pre-orders of the Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Premium Edition on PS5.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 PC System Requirements
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has now revealed its specs on its official website, highlighting what players will need at the minimum to play, and what's recommended. The minimum required specs should be pretty easy for most modern gaming PCs to meet. It calls for Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i3-8350K or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB), AMD Radeon RX 480 (8GB), Intel Arc A580 (8 GB, Resizable BAR enabled) or AMD Radeon 780M. Given the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 launched nearly a decade ago, these system requirements seem quite reasonable.
To play the game at its recommended settings, players will need Windows 11, plus at least an Intel Core i5-12600K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU, 16GB of RAM, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8GB) or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (12GB). Surprisingly, the game only needs 30 GB of hard drive space, which is significantly less storage space required by many modern game releases.
With any luck, gamers find that the game is enjoyable at launch. Even following development shifts and delays, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 has seen some significant issues in the final stretch, including controversy surrounding locking two vampire clans behind DLC, namely Lasombra and Toreador. The developers have since announced that adjustments would be made, and PlayStation has begun refunding players for the Premium Edition of Bloodlines 2, which was set to include the DLC with those clans. In any case, players won't have to wait too much longer to see if the sequel lives up to the cult classic original.
