Valor Mortis’ system requirements appear to have been drastically cut, just before the FPSoulslike launches
Valor Mortis, a first-person Soulsliker, has significantly reduced its PC system requirements ahead of its October 13th launch. The Steam page now lists more modest minimum specifications compared to earlier in the year, when the game demanded a Ryzen 7 3700X or Core i7-11700 processor paired with an AMD Radeon RX 6700 or Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super graphics card.
The updated minimum requirements now specify either a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i5-10600K CPU, representing a notable downgrade that should allow the game to run on more affordable hardware. The GPU requirements have also been reduced, though full details were not provided.
This change likely reflects optimization efforts undertaken by the development team in the lead-up to release, making the game more accessible to a broader audience. The reduction in requirements is particularly notable given the game’s imminent launch, suggesting last-minute performance improvements or optimization passes. Such adjustments are common in the weeks before major releases as developers fine-tune their products for optimal performance across various hardware configurations.
