Launch Performance Checks
Specs do not guarantee smooth performance in every mission. During the first session, check shader or traversal stutter, driving sections, dense stealth areas, cutscene transitions, controller response, and whether your SSD has enough free space beyond the 80 GB install requirement.
Steam Deck, Denuvo, and Benchmark Signals
Player questions outside Google are focused on handheld play, DRM, and real benchmark behavior. Treat Steam Deck as unverified unless a Steam rating or strong player settings reports fit your tolerance. For PC, compare your GPU and CPU against current benchmarks, then test cutscenes, driving, dense stealth areas, DLSS or FSR behavior, and frame pacing before committing past the refund window.
DLSS, Path Tracing, and Future Updates
Steam news says launch PC features include uncapped framerate, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, and DLSS Dynamic Multi Frame Generation. It also says path tracing and DLSS Ray Reconstruction are planned for Summer 2026, so do not expect those features to be part of the first launch-day visual baseline.
