Paradox’s Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 has published its official PC system requirements ahead of launch, covering everything from low‑end 1080p play up to an ultra 4K 240fps target. The developer confirmed the game’s release timing at the release date announcement shown at Gamescom, and there’s a lot to unpack in the specs.
The minimum requirements are modest by 2025 standards. For GPU the list includes an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 480, Intel Arc A580, and an AMD Radeon 780M option for laptops. Minimum CPU choices are an Intel Core i3‑8350K or AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, with 8GB of RAM and 30GB of storage.
The recommended tier jumps to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, paired with an Intel Core i5‑12600K or Ryzen 5‑5600X and 16GB of RAM. For higher quality targets, the publisher lists RTX 3070/RX 7700 XT for 1440p 60fps and RTX 4080/RX 7900 XT for 4K 60fps. The most extreme specification calls for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 alongside an Intel Core i7‑13700K or Ryzen 7 5800X3D to reach the advertised 4K 240fps. That setup expects DLSS plus multi-frame generation to be used. For more background on the project, please refer to our launch content notes, which state that the game will include all six clans at release.
