The official PC requirements for Postal 2 Redux, the remake of the cult classic, have been shared by Impact Inked and Running with Scissors. If you’re curious about what rig you’ll need to relive the chaos of Postal Dude’s week, here’s what you should know.
Postal 2 Redux promises to blend nostalgia with some fresh twists. It’s keeping the original game’s storyline and insanity intact, but upgrading the visuals and physics using Unity. Expect higher resolution textures, dynamic lighting, and a seamless world without loading screens interrupting your errands, whether you’re wielding a shovel or something more explosive.
The developers aim to deliver what they call the best version of Postal 2 yet, adding new weapons and surprises. The town of Paradise will look sharper, with detailed signs and those gross puddles rendered better than before. However, if you’re hoping for excellent graphics, the current screenshots on the Steam page suggest the visuals are improved but not exactly next-gen eye candy.
There’s no confirmed release date yet, but the Steam store lists the PC specs you’ll need. The minimum and recommended requirements are quite reasonable, suggesting the game will run on a broad range of machines. Here’s the rundown:
POSTAL 2 Redux PC Requirements
- OS: Windows 10 or higher
- Processor: Intel i5-4590 / AMD Ryzen 5 1500X or better
- Memory: 8 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD Radeon R9 290 or better
- DirectX: Version 11
- Storage: 2 GB available space
These specs might shift a bit closer to launch, but for now, they hint at a game that won’t demand a powerhouse PC. That’s kinda refreshing, considering how some remakes start looking more like hardware tests than fun throwbacks. You’ll want a mid-tier rig from recent years to comfortably run it.
Curious about how it looks? The Steam page features screenshots that showcase the game’s updated yet modest visuals. It’s a reminder that the focus remains on capturing Postal 2’s original spirit rather than dazzling you with fancy effects. Still, it’s nice to see the game getting a new coat of paint without losing its grit.
What do you think about these specs? Will your PC handle Postal Dude’s antics, or are you planning an upgrade?
