Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt's PC system requirements have been updated
An SSD is "strongly recommended" for all.
Sharkmob has updated the system requirements for its upcoming vampire-themed battle royale, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt.
Confirmation comes following a closed alpha beta test for the free-to-play game which ended earlier today.
While previously it was recommended players used a GTX 970 or RX 590, now Sharkmob suggests players use either a GTX 1070, RX 5600 XT or better for graphics, and a SSD is "strongly recommended" even in the minimum spec. You'll need around 20GB of storage, too.
Here's the full specs as found on the game's Steam storefront (thanks, TheGamer):

As yet, there's no confirmed release date or even release window for Bloodhunt, with the Steam page only listing "TBA" (to be announced).
"[I'm] in two minds about Bloodhunt," Bertie explained after spending some time with Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt. "It feels a bit thin as it is.
"There are nice ideas, and it looks smart, but I don't think it's enough to pull people from the heavyweight battle royales and keep them occupied for more than a weekend. Nevertheless, this is pre-alpha, and it's a solid showing. It's certainly worth keeping an eye on."
