Checklist

PC Requirements action checklist

  1. Confirm Windows 11 and 64-bit support.
  2. Compare CPU and GPU tier, not only one component.
  3. Reserve at least 50 GB on an SSD.
  4. Plan for 16 GB RAM and more headroom when recording or streaming.
  5. Treat 30/60 FPS as official upscaled targets, not guaranteed minimums.

Can my PC run Onimusha: Way of the Sword?

Compare your full system against one official tier. A faster GPU does not remove the Windows, RAM, DirectX, and SSD requirements.

Is an SSD required?

Yes. The official additional notes explicitly require an SSD.

What do the 30 FPS and 60 FPS targets mean?

They are stated 1080p targets using upscaling at Low and Medium presets. Heavy-load scenes may run below those targets.

Which upscalers are listed?

The store notes list NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and AMD FSR 3.1 support, while the estimates were measured using DLSS 4.0 / FSR 3.1.

What should you do next?

If your system clearly misses the minimum tier or lacks an SSD, choose another platform or wait for measured PC reports. If it meets recommended, still treat the official target as an estimate.
