Hell is Us System Requirements explained for PC and Steam Deck

The Hell is Us system requirements page lists upscaling across all performance tiers, and the developer/publisher not specified in the announcement. That matters because the published specs set expectations for real-world hardware and show 4K targets that still depend on upscaling and a 30GB download footprint.

The minimum tier asks for relatively modern parts: an Intel Core i7 7700K or an AMD Ryzen 3 3300X paired with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT. Memory is listed as 16GB across all tiers, which may trip up older or budget systems. The published notes say an SSD is required and that upscaling was enabled when the testers set their targets.

Moving up to recommended and ultra tiers, the bar rises quickly. Recommended specs name an Intel Core i7 11700K or AMD Ryzen 5 7600 with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT for 1080p at 60fps, but the publisher still notes upscaling is active. Ultra that lists an RTX 4090 or Radeon RX 7900 XTX for 4K at 30fps, again with upscaling, which places native 60fps out of reach on those targets.

There is limited clarity about how aggressive the upscaling is at each tier. The page does not say whether the 4K target uses a Quality, Balanced, or Performance upscaling preset, and that omission matters for perceived image quality. The requirements also recommend an SSD and list the game’s size as 30GB.
